    I am looking for new, interactive and user friendly tools to see chromosomal rearrangements. I tried IGV, but it does not seems to be very helpful for chromosomal rearrangements visualization. Circos look pretty useless, as it does not allow me to explore well. Help Please...

    The built-in MySQL server cannot run because a MySQL server is already running on this computer.
    Please stop that server, or else specify a MySQL host name in the symap.config file.

    If i have a set of miRNA sequences, what are the tools that are available to predict the target genes? I tried miRanda and mirdb, are there any  tools or databases that do the same, as the rna is not already known i cant use targetscan etc. The tool must predict the target from the fasta sequence of miRNA.

    Thank you

    Using breakdancer the output consists of DEL, INV, INS, CTX and ITX. Using following commands:

    bam2cfg.pl -g -h dis.bam normal.bam > config_file.cfg
    breakdancer_max -d test config_file.cfg > dis_normal.ctx

    the 11th output column should displays the amount of reads supporting the called SV per bam-file. I have some unusual research in 11th column, can you please helpme to fix it.
