  • soap2 memory requirements

    Hi all,

    Soap2, on its website states that it has a 6.8 GB footprint (when using the human genome as the reference).

    Is anyone aware of whether reporting all best hits (option -r 2) has any effect on the memory requirements? When I use the default setting of reporting one of the best hits randomly, SOAP runs without issues. But, when I set this -r 2 option, SOAP gives a segmentation fault.

    Anyone else have similar experiences?

    Thanks

    I don't expect a mapping algorithm to need more memory for -r 2 over -r 0 or -r 1 but it will take more CPU time as it has to go through all the hits, not just stop after one.

    I also get a segfault when using soap2 with -r 2. A segfault means the process has attempted to access a memory address which has not been allocated to it - usually a pointer bug.

      Hi, more SOAP,
      The SOAP2 paper states that the new SOAP2 supports several input and output formats:
      The output formats include a SOAP tab-delimited
      text table, a gzipped text table, a Sequence Alignment/Map (SAM)
      format and its binary equivalent (BAM) that is recommended by
      the 1000 Genomes Consortium, and a Consed format that fits with
      the assembly viewer.

      Does anybody know how to select those formats? I have not been able to find any infp on the documentation or web site.
      Thanks!!

        Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
        by seqadmin



        Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...

        Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
        by seqadmin




        Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
