Installing GS FLX v2.6 in Ubuntu?

07-20-2011, 09:41 AM

Hello all,

I was hoping someone might be able to walk me through the installation process for the GS FLX software v2.6; I am running Ubuntu 11.04.

The installation bulletin says to first install the DataProcessing_2.6.tgz package, followed by the DataAnalysis_2.6.tgz package, but I didn't get very far...

After extracting the first file, and launching the installer "setup.sh", the terminal shows:

sh: /sbin/lspci: not found

and I get an error message popping up that says "Error: Could not execute command: type rocks 2>&1"

Any suggestions? Thank you so much!

I installed it in Ubuntu using the provided setup.sh script by doing this

Code:

sudo ln -s /bin/true /bin/rocks sudo ./setup.sh

It then seems to be working fine.

From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data

by SEQadmin2

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.

The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.

Environmental Genomics in the Age of NGS: From Microbes to Conservation Strategies

by SEQadmin2

Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.

Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...
