    Velvet Columbus (No roadmap)

    Hi, I have been running velveth and velvetg for mapping on a reference file (Columbus extension) but I am getting the following error:

    First I ran velveth, using the following script:
    ./velveth directory 21 -reference Concatenated.fasta -shortPaired -sam Bowtie2_sorted.sam

    And the directory result was:

    total 249760
    drwxr-xr-x 2 vramirezc ucb 4096 Apr 24 11:26 ./
    drwxr-xr-x 122 vramirezc ucb 12288 Apr 24 11:26 ../
    -rw-r--r-- 1 vramirezc ucb 1158 Apr 24 11:53 Log
    -rw-r--r-- 1 vramirezc ucb 255727679 Apr 24 11:26 Sequences

    Later, I ran velvetg using:
    ./velvetg directory -ins_length 400 -exp_cov 10 -min_contig_lgth 100 -unused_reads yes

    And then I just obtained an O file (the error file was empty) saying:
    [0.000001] No Roadmap file to build upon! Please run velveth (see manual)
    [0.000000] No Roadmap file to build upon! Please run velveth (see manual)
    [0.000000] No Roadmap file to build upon! Please run velveth (see manual)
    [0.000000] No Roadmap file to build upon! Please run velveth (see manual)

    Clearly there is no roadmap in the directory file, but I do not know why. Could you please help me?

    Solved!

    The problem was solved*just by recompiling the program using make 'LONGSEQUENCES=Y' (for some reason using make 'LONGSEQUENCES=1' did not work). It seems like the reference file was too long.*

      Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
      by SEQadmin2



      CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

      Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

      Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
      by SEQadmin2


      Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

      The systematic characterization of the human proteome has

      Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
      by SEQadmin2



      Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
