  • memory and cpu requirement for bwa

    How much memory and CPU are required for running bwa with hg19 and a fastq file as small as the 1000 genomes ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nih.gov/1000gen...filt.fastq.gz?

    Thanks,

    Carol

    You can find the memory use and running time for mapping a 1000Genomes dataset by a few popular aligners including bwa - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23558742

      Bwa-0.5.x uses ~4GB RAM; 0.6.x+ uses ~5.1GB. On ~5-year-old machines, bwa aligns 100bp reads at ~7Gbp per CPU day; bwa-sw at ~3Gbp per day; the new component bwa-mem at ~14Gbp per CPU day (similar to bowtie2). On the latest Intel CPUs, they can be 50-100% faster.

        is very lengthy. What would be the acceptable amount of time for this step?

        Thanks

          Advanced Tools Transforming the Field of Cytogenomics
          by seqadmin


          At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...

          How RNA-Seq is Transforming Cancer Studies
          by seqadmin



          Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...
