    Memory requirements for Rnnotator

    I am considering using Rnnotator as a pre-processor, primarily to cut down on the enormous memory requirements of the Velvet/Oasis assemblers. However, I can find no information about how much memory the Rnnotator pipeline itself requires. Is this a program that can be run on a standard desktop computer (i.e., 4-8 GB RAM), or are more memory intensive computers still required?

    I have searched the literature, the forums, and the manual, but have found no answers.

    Though I don't have my data yet, I am anticipating ~200-400 million 100 bp paired-end reads.

    Does anyone have experience with this software?

    Follow-up

    For those that may be interested, I spoke with one of the creators of Rnnotator, and the short answer is that the pre-processing step does require large amounts of memory, depending on what options one selects, and thus is impossible to run on a typical desktop PC. It was suggested to me that a rough estimate of memory requirements is 1.5X the size of the file (I'm assuming he was referring to GBs).

      16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
      by SEQadmin2




      NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
