In this tutorial we learn how to install tnseq-transit on Kali Linux. tnseq-transit is statistical calculations of essentiality of genes or genomic regions

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install tnseq-transit on Kali Linux.

What is tnseq-transit

tnseq-transit is:

This is a software that can be used to analyze Tn-Seq datasets. It includes various statistical calculations of essentiality of genes or genomic regions (including conditional essentiality between 2 conditions). These methods were developed and tested as a collaboration between the Sassetti lab (UMass) and the Ioerger lab (Texas A&M)

TRANSIT is capable of analyzing TnSeq libraries constructed with Himar1 or Tn5 datasets.

TRANSIT assumes you have already done pre-processing of raw sequencing files (.fastq) and extracted read counts into a .wig formatted file. The .wig file should contain the counts at all sites where an insertion could take place (including sites with no reads). For Himar1 datasets this is all TA sites in the genome. For Tn5 datasets this would be all nucleotides in the genome.

There are three methods to install tnseq-transit 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 tnseq-transit Using apt-get

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

sudo apt-get update

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

sudo apt-get -y install tnseq-transit

Install tnseq-transit Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

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

sudo apt -y install tnseq-transit

Install tnseq-transit 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 tnseq-transit using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install tnseq-transit
