I bought a 64GB RAM PC recently. But I am new to sequence assembly. I heard that SOAP de novo is a good program for this. But where can I download some data to feed it? Thanks a lot!

With 64GB of RAM you'll likely need to restrict your self to small genomes in the hundreds of Megabases or less (depending on exactly what software you use). If your looking for some open data to have a go with, try http://assemblathon.org/ or the German Ecoli datasets for example http://climb.genomics.cn/Ecoli_TY-2482 -
There is an example in the how-to page of seqanswers, where they use Ecoli data;

Is this the file to download???
How do I set the config file?? ThanksComment

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...Today, 06:46 AM -
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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
