Common Problems: Permissions
Permissions can be a frustrating thing to deal with on shared computers, especially without much introduction. Hopefully, this walkthrough will introduce you to the major concepts and reduce the confusion! Why do we have them? Unix permissions allow us to control who can access and change files and directories, which is critical on a shared…… Read more »
Trinity and NCGAS partnership thrives as software popularity continues to grow
The Broad’s RNA assembler Trinity is one of the most popular tools for assembling short reads (~100-150 base pairs) of RNA into the transcripts (~200-15000bp) produced by an organism. According to recent git pull stats, over 16,000 people have downloaded the program over 4.4 million times since 2015. And that number is increasing every…… Read more »
Common Questions: SRA Toolkit
A common question I was downloading SRA files and convert them into fastq files in gz format. However, I got an error message (pasted below). I noticed that “Disk quota exceeded” was mentioned. Not sure why I received such error. How do deal with this issue When using the SRA, the ncbi uses home as…… Read more »
