I will need to assemble a genome from two PE250 MiSeq runs generating a total of about 12 to 14 Gbp of sequence. Based on some preliminary alignments to genes I had previously cloned and sequenced this would, on average, be better than 10x coverage. Since I don't have access to or funds for time on a computer with sufficient RAM to run something like Velvet, I was looking at Gossamer as an assembler with low hardware resource requirements. My question is this. I may be able to configure a VM for a short amount of time and I am wondering what would be a reasonable amount of vRAM and minimum number of CPU cores to get the assembly done in a reasonable time period.

I missed this somehow, but the Gossamer readme file says:
"Mammalian size genomes have been assembled using goss on a 32 GB Ubuntu machine."
So, since the genome I'll be assembling is about 1 Gbp, I should think that 32 GB of vRAM should be sufficient. If anyone has experience assembling with Gossamer, would there be any advantage to try and up that to 64 GB of RAM?Last edited by lkral; 02-22-2013, 05:56 PM. -
Mac vs Linux computer for MiSeq
Hello,
Can anyone tell if a MacPro is good enough for a basic MiSeq application anaysis?
I found one at apple.com
Mac Pro: 12-Core
Item Price: $4,649.00 Quantity (Mac Pro: 12-Core) Line Price:$4,649.00
Remove (Mac Pro: 12-Core) Save (Mac Pro: 12-Core)
Part number: Z0P2
Available to ship: 2-4 business days
Hardware
Two 2.40GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processors (12 cores)
32GB (8x4GB)
2TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.
There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM
