  • Cuffdiff thread option

    Can anyone explain to me the following option in CuffDiff:


    -p/--num-threads <int>
    Use this many threads to align reads. The default is 1.

    What are threads? Will it take longer to run the analysis if multiple threads are used? Will such an analysis be more accurate?

  • #2
    These are the individual processes that are used by cuffdiff. For example if you have a hyper-threaded core-i3, use -p 4. It uses as much CPU power as possible. So it shortens the analysis time. If you have a 4-core CPU, you are better off using -p 8. It depends on how many thread your processor can handle.

      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...
