          If it is installed on your computer, typing bcftools at the commandline prompt should give you something like this:

          Code:
          $ bcftools 
          
          Program: bcftools (Tools for data in the VCF/BCF formats)
          Version: 0.1.17-dev (r973:277)
          
          Usage:   bcftools <command> <arguments>
          
          Command: view      print, extract, convert and call SNPs from BCF
                   index     index BCF
                   cat       concatenate BCFs
                   ld        compute all-pair r^2
                   ldpair    compute r^2 between requested pairs
          Otherwise, have a look in the samtools directory, there should be a subdirectory called bcftools.

            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...
