What Operating System Do You Use For Analysis?
I'm interested to know what operating systems people here use. This will help me and others decided what platforms to focus testing on.

I'd also be interested to know what distro the Linux users use. This may help as well. Perhaps maintainers or others could also add why they use this particular distro?
I run my analysis on an Ubuntu server, Jaunty. I just use the available server, so I can't say anything useful about why it runs Jaunty. -
The workstation I use currently runs Slackware64.-13.0, but it will be upgraded to 13.1 sometime soon. I chose Slackware due to my own familiarity with it, plus support is readily available. I've had people in the Slackware community help me get things working, even if they didn't know much of the tools themselves.Comment

Wow, I'm surprised there are so many Macs... good thing the new SpliceMap supports OS X. I'll make a post about that later.Comment

I think most of the people that uses mac, they use them for the initial coding and prototyping, idea testing and then they through the real deal to a HPC cluster, typically linux based.Originally posted by john_mu View Post-drdComment

Or work on smaller organisms like viruses or bacteria where you don't need so much RAM.Originally posted by drio View PostComment

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
