How To Install bitseq on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install bitseq on Kali Linux.

What is bitseq

bitseq is:

BitSeq is an application for inferring expression levels of individual transcripts from sequencing (RNA-Seq) data and estimating differential expression (DE) between conditions. An advantage of this approach is the ability to account for both technical uncertainty and intrinsic biological variance in order to avoid false DE calls. The technical contribution to the uncertainty comes both from finite read-depth and the possibly ambiguous mapping of reads to multiple transcripts.

There are three methods to install bitseq on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.

Install bitseq Using apt-get

Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install bitseq using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install bitseq

Install bitseq Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install bitseq using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install bitseq

Install bitseq Using aptitude

If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude on Kali Linux first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.

sudo aptitude update

After updating apt database, We can install bitseq using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install bitseq

How To Uninstall bitseq on Kali Linux

To uninstall only the bitseq package we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get remove bitseq

Uninstall bitseq And Its Dependencies

To uninstall bitseq and its dependencies that are no longer needed by Kali Linux, we can use the command below:

sudo apt-get -y autoremove bitseq

Remove bitseq Configurations and Data

To remove bitseq configuration and data from Kali Linux we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get -y purge bitseq

Remove bitseq configuration, data, and all of its dependencies

We can use the following command to remove bitseq configurations, data and all of its dependencies, we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge bitseq

Dependencies

bitseq have the following dependencies:

• libc6
• libgcc1
