  • Is FastX Trimmer supposed to take a long time to trim the fastq file?

    I'm not sure whether or not the terminal is frozen or the file is still processing through the software...

    If you can't tell by looking at your system, how can we

    On a more serious note: Do you have a reference for how long it took for a similar size file to finish processing or is this the first one?

      For sure, I got it to work, thank you.

        If the terminal is not showing any signs of progress, you can always check for the size of the output file. This size will continually get updated as more data is trimmed and added to the output file. You can also check 'top' to see if the trimmer is occupying processor and memory.

          Fastx is very slow; there are other trimmers that are better and faster (see graph).

            Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
            by seqadmin


            Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

            Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
            by seqadmin


            Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
