  • MetaPhyler

    Has any one used MetaPhyler before? (http://metaphyler.cbcb.umd.edu/)

    Do I need a super computer to run it? or I can run it on desktop?

    Is it fast?

    Thanks

    It should run fine on a desktop. As for fast, it could take a day to run, depending on your sample. But that's kind of par for the course when you're trying to classify millions of sequences.

      Thank you. What does "par for the course" mean?

      Do I need a very good desktop (e.g. 8 cpus?)

      Thanks

        Sorry, it's a golf reference. I mean that it's typical for analyses to take many hours.

        I've not actually used it myself, but it was used one a project I'm on, and I trust that analysis more than some of the others. From the results I have that someone else did on his Mac, it took around 8 hours to do (I think) three lanes of assembled HiSeq data (around 100 MB total length). I don't have specs for his computer though.
        On their website, they say that their short read version MetaPhylerSRV0.115 processes 10 M reads in 50 minutes on a single processor. Since it can be parallel though, the more processors the better.
        I'd say give it a shot and see what you get. f you want, reduce your dataset to 100 K reads first and see how long that takes on your computer.

          Thanks. Are you sure it can run on a Mac? I didn't know that. I have a really Mac. I suppose it can only run on linux, so I planned to look for a linux server.

            I could be wrong, but I thought he did it on his Mac.

              Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
              by seqadmin


              Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
