  • Bioinformatics on Windows and Windows Cloud

    For those 92.2% desktop users out there:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_s...rating_systems

    BOW http://bow.codeplex.com/ is my little effort to help you to use your everyday computer on Bioinfo/sequencing.

    Current list of programs: (natively run on Windows x64)
    1, BWA
    2, BWA with multithreaded SAMPE
    3, SAMTOOLS
    4, tabix

    In the making:
    5, SamCompare (a WPF GUI program enable you to compare two SAM/BAM files single/paired end, line by line, tag by tag, to 'debug' your alignment running (i.e. to understand which parameter does what; or to tell if a fancy re-aligner really is that good, just give an example of possible usage.))

    6, SequencingStudio (a WPF GUI program enable you to open all kinds of text/binary files, view with visualization, convert, align, call variant, offload work to the cloud, etc.)

    Beta testing:
    Windows Azure (The Microsoft Cloud) pipleline, I recently did a demo at the Microsoft eScience 2012 workshop of the running system. http://research.microsoft.com/en-US/...12/agenda.aspx, (DemoFest, 12,000 Human Genomes from Raw Sequence to Result, on Windows and Windows Azure ).

    The system is built like a Sun Grid Engine or HPC Cluster in that sense is not limited to process seqence files only. You as a user only need to upload your files to a container, and grab a Recipe (job flow), final results can be in files or databases. The beauty of Cloud is the Utility Model, i.e. you purchase your computing hours like water and electricity, no upfront investment of a local cluster, zero maintenance, zero IT budget/salary. Just a credit card (Purchase Order is accepted too), you can have your own 1000 core cluster up and running in no time, and delete it when your job done.

    It might somehow sounds like Galaxy or BaseSpace, in that 1, I don't know much deep about those systems, 2, my team size is one.

    If you are interested to try out, please contact me. Or you have any suggestions, comments, bricks, programs you want on Windows, etc., just let me know.

    Best,

    dong

    I am so happy today ! My laptop has 4 gb ram and I trying to analyse a small set of data from yeast genome. But god knows for what reason ubuntu (even linux mint !) heats up rapidly and turns off by itself. I was kinda forced to work on windows and I have been trying to install samtools on windows from past 2 days, but both cygwin and mingW kept on giving me error on libraries and headers.

    But today I saw this post and I downloaded samtools and BAM ! works like charm !!

    great job and I hope many users will benefit from this!!

    Thank you.

      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...
