DanRussell	Kristen Butela Hi there Greg! Yes, I am currently still using WINE to run DNA Master. The great thing about WINE is that it really isn't a Windows emulator that requires a separate virtual machine-any WINE program can run on the native MacOS. From my understanding, WINE in combination with X11 provides a basic scaffold on the Mac on which Windows programs can run. All you need to do is to make sure that XQuartz/X11 (http://www.xquartz.org/) is installed on the computer (this permits WINE programs to function). Tamarah's link contains the entire DNA Master package. The Mac will treat this program as an app. Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions! Good point. I think that X11 used to be included by default on Mac OS X installations, up til about 10.6, but no longer is. You'll need to add it on newer versions of OS X, but that should be fairly painless using the link Kristen supplied. –Dan

DanRussell	GregFrederick@letu.edu Tamarah Adair We are running DNA Master within the WINE configuration. The installer has been copied and you should be able to get to it from this link. https://baylor.box.com/s/295to06pr1cpztqiu2jn0h77iy3vkanz Our contact is in Student Technology Services. He installs the DNA Master on the Macs in the lab at the beginning of the spring semester. If there are updates he incorporates these. I'm sure he would be glad to answer any questions you might have. Hey Tammy. I'm not a Mac guy… I used one some 20 years ago… but it has been a while. Your link above still works. It leads to file called DNAMaster_5.22.19.dmg Is that an executable file on Mac OS10? Does it need to be extracted? Or opened in another program? Sorry for the newb questions! Thanks! Greg Hi Greg, The .dmg is the standard disk image format for Mac, meaning it's the format in which most Mac programs are downloaded now, so it'll be totally fine with all OSX versions, and you should just be able to double-click after downloading. –Dan

DanRussell	klloyd-davies Hi Dan, I work at WSU's VetMed IT and have been asked to install the VM in one of our student labs per Bill Davis. He provided the software and I've got it up and running, but I need admin credentials to install the Guest Additions. Would you be able to email me the password for either the SEA Faculty or SEA Admin accounts? I assume Dr. Davis has them, but he's out today and I would like to finalize the setup before students are back on Monday. Thank you, Keith Lloyd-Davies Hi Keith, Just emailed them to you! –Dan

DanRussell	DoTS_UWRF Dan Russell Sharon Isern Can students get access to the VM 2016 via seaphages.org? Or do they have to be logged in as faculty? We're in class right now. Thanks!! Because of the software included, we couldn't post it totally publicly. And since there's no "registered student" accounts on PhagesDB, there's no way to give them access to the protected page. That said, I'll email you (and any other faculty who want it) the magic link! –Dan Dan, Would it be possible to share the link with me via email or message? I work in the IT department at UWRF with Karen Klyzek and the account we used previously (under Gary Knigge) is no longer active to download the SEALinux VM. We are working on rebuilding the image for the department laptops and need to download the file. Thank you in advance, Nate Overby Division of Technology Services UW-River Falls Just sent them to you, Nate. Good luck. –Dan

DanRussell	jparker Eureka! Exactly what I need. I have never seen that page. What menu is it under? I can't seem to be find a link for it on PhagesDB. Now that I know it exists, i'll bookmark it, but it would be good to know how to direct students to the page. Thanks! Jordan Hi Jordan, I think I removed the menu link about 6 months ago when the Phamerator database on PhagesDB was out-of-date. But now that it's re-synced, I've put it back in. Now there's a "Phams" item in the Phages dropdown menu. Thanks for the reminder! –Dan

DanRussell	jparker Thanks Nick and cdshaffer! I only know enough coding language to frustrate myself, so I'll probably leave that to the experts. Is there a straightforward way to generate lists of pham members without opening the pham circle tool? This may be a more complicated question than can be easily answered here. I'm headed to the in silico workshop in two weeks, so I should be able to get more info there. Thanks for your help! Jordan Hi Jordan, Depending on exactly what you want, you may be able to do this on PhagesDB as well. The Pham page lets you select a Pham of interest and view its members: http://phagesdb.org/phams/ For example: http://phagesdb.org/phams/1728/ –Dan

DanRussell	Steven Caruso Hello, Is there a link we can provide to our OIT depts or do I need to give them my log-in information? Steve Hi Steve, Because of some of the software installed, I can't post the link publicly, but I'll happily send it to you and you can share with whomever you need. If logged in as a faculty member, you can also look at the source html for the http://seaphages.org/software/virtualmachine/ page and get it from there! –Dan

DanRussell	Yep, you got it Lee. I made the original video with an older version of consed. The new syntax should be: `addSolexaReads.perl -ace your_ace_file.ace -fastqfof reads_file.fof -fasta fasta_file.fof` –Dan Edited 10 Nov, 2015 18:31

DanRussell	Lee Hughes I just wanted to express my happiness to see that a new episode of "Sounds of the Sea" was released. I really enjoy the discussions of phage biology that are in those each time. Lee We have a fan! Glad you're enjoying them. We're happy to take any suggestions about topic/format/people that would make them more appealing/interesting. –Dan

DanRussell	cdshaffer Dan, Is there anyway to make this post sticky so it stays on top of the list. Might be helpful to new faculty to read this post first and try solutions before posting a question. Could we even change the title to add something like READ THIS FIRST or START HERE. Chris Done and done. And just as an addendum, the currently posted versions of the 2016 SEA VM have the corrected default Starterator and Phamerator databases. If you download the new VMs now, each program should default to the Actino_Draft database. –Dan
