    CD-HIT w/ Illumina

    Greetings, just curious if anyone out there has used to CD-HIT-454 to cluster Illumina data, rather than 454 data, and about how long it them to get back a collapsed result. I'm trying to "decompress" the number of unique reads before starting a large blastx run against a 16S rRNA gene database, and then NCBI-nr. I' started running the CD-HIT-454 on Friday afternoon, and its still running. The command I used is below:
    $nohup cd-hit-454 -i N5_bioCollapsed.fasta -o N5_bio_c90.fasta -c 0.9 -n 5 -M 2000

    My input file (N5_bioCollapsed.fasta) has 3884222 100bp reads. This sequence data was produced through sequencing of DNA recovered from an agricultural soil. My end goal is to assess the frequency of functional genes in the sample to other samples collected from similar sites, under differing conditions.

    If anyone else has complimentary methods they have found useful for dereliction/redundancy filtering, please let me know. Thanks,

    -tony

    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
