We have developed an enhanced version of MAQ called Cloud-MAQ. It outperforms MAQ in terms of runtime. For 120 million (33 base, Illumina) sequence reads on a single core, MAQ took 8hrs for reference assembly. While Cloud-MAQ on the same data set took 53mins using 4 cores. I can share more information and the software for anybody who is interested in trying our version...

Moved this to its own thread as it is clearly not a package available for use today, but definitely worthy of discussion.
Link to amazon image so I can try it?

Could you post a link to the software? Is it free?Originally posted by geschickten View PostComment

Is the MAQ you created based on the source code of MAQ found on sourceforge.net? Are you going to release the source code?Originally posted by geschickten View PostComment

I've yet to run it;
but from what I have seen from a short analysis of the contained python-c apps, this looks like a wrapper-approach for the usual maq map step to utilize the hadoop storage, map and reduce algorithms.
But that's just a quick take, and I assume that since its a requirement to have maq 0.6.8 (why not the latest 0.7.x???) and maqview installed, that this will likely stay closed source - otherwise all the hassle with the download, like asking for a phonenumber+email wouldn't have been necessary.
These are my 5 cents, but I'd like to be proven wrong,

nilshomer & Jonathan
I know its a pain to pen a few details before you download any softwareand I am sorry for that; well Jonathan you are partially right; I mean what we have is a wrapper and we have not modified the source of MAQ; The reason we suggest 0.6.8 is because MAQ 0.7.x is a little inconsistent and there are issues with MAQVIEW too. Hence we restricted ourselves to 0.6.8; but that will change in future. Thank you.

Are you distributing MAQ with your code or do you have to download it yourself?Originally posted by geschickten View PostComment

We are not distributing MAQ; you have to download it from sourceforge. The README in the distribution has all the details. Thanks

Hi,
does it still works with MAQ 0.6.8 ?
I'm new to the field, and I wanted to run it on IBM clusters. This seems to be the solution. is source code available?
does anyone know if the results are different than just running MAQ ?Comment

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 -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
