I ran into this due to the “SELinux” configuration. If SELinux is running, you need to explictly enable the ability for Apache to write to files. To use this, you also need to set additional permissions on those directories and files for which you are granting write access.

To determine if SELinux is enabled, […]

BACTERIAL GENOMICS TUTORIAL (repost)

[Originally posted by Kat on her BacPathGenomics blog, April 2013]

This is a shameless plug for an article and accompanying tutorial I’ve just published together with David Edwards, my excellent MSc Bioinformatics student from the University of Melbourne. It’s currently available as a PDF pre-pub from BMC Microbial Informatics and Experimentation, but the web version […]

POPULATION GENOMICS OF KLEBSIELLA (Repost)

https://holtlab.net/2015/06/23/population-genomics-of-klebsiella/

Well, after almost 6 years, our Klebsiella pneumoniae genomics paper is finally out!

It’s a beast of a thing and there are still a million and one questions to address just from this one data set. For those interested in looking at the data for themselves, the raw reads are available under accessionERP000165, the […]

TOOLS FOR BACTERIAL COMPARATIVE GENOMICS

Yesterday I spoke at a workshop for JAMS TOAST (Sydney’s Joint Academic Microbiology Seminars – bioinformatics workshop)… I was asked to cover tools for comparative genomics, so I put together a list of the tried and tested programs that I find most useful for this kind of analysis. So here is the list.
