  • a tophat running problem

    I just installed the latest tophat and bowtie. But I had the following problem when running the test data (also downloaded from tophat web site). The PATH to bowtie and tophat are all right. I am wondering if anyone know what kind of problem it could be. Thanks!!!

    ../bin/tophat -r 20 test_ref reads_1.fq reads_2.fq

    Please help me out. I am sure many people here has experience with tophat. Could you please point me to the right direction how I could fix it?

      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...
