  • bcl2fastq-1.8.4 on debian/ubuntu solution

    I was frustrated to find very little useful documentation on getting bcl2fastq (released in 2013) working boost newer than August 2010.

    Seems kinda odd for a program so heavily dependent on boost to ignore all the boost releases since Nov 2010.

    I tried to get it to work with various newer boost's without luck. The included boost-1.44.0 has numerous issues with more recent compilers and libraries.

    So my solution (gross as it is) for boost is:
    Code:
    $ sudo apt-get install build-essential g++ g++-4.6
    $ cd /opt/src
    $ tar xvjf bcl2fastq-1.8.4.tar.bz2
    $ mv bcl2fastq bcl2fastq-1.8.4
    $ tar xvzf bcl2fastq/redist/boost_1_44_0.tar.gz
    $ cd boost_1_44_0
    $ find . -type f -exec perl -pi -e 's/TIME_UTC/TIME_UTC_/g' {} \;
    $ echo "using gcc : 4.6 : /usr/bin/g++-4.6 ; " >> tools/build/v2/user-config.jam
    vi ./boost/config/stdlib/libstdcpp3.hpp
    line 36:
    c   || defined(_GLIBCXX__PTHREADS) \
    +   || defined(_GLIBCXX_HAS_GTHREADS)
    bjam --toolset=gcc-4.6 --prefix=/share/apps/boost-1.44.0 -j 6 install
    Then to compile bcl2fastq-1.8.4:
    Code:
    mkdir bcl2fastq-build
    cd  bcl2fastq-build
    export BOOST_ROOT=/share/apps/boost-1.44.0
    ../bcl2fastq-1.8.4/src/configure --prefix=/share/apps/bcl2fastq-1.8.4 --verbose
    make -j 6
    make -j 6 install
    I'm not done testing, but at least it seems to build, and the default testing of the binaries seems to be working without problem.

    Figured it might save a few others a few hours of tinkering.

    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...
