  • 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.

      Targeted Sequencing: Choosing Between Hybridization Capture and Amplicon Sequencing
      by seqadmin




      Targeted sequencing is an effective way to sequence and analyze specific genomic regions of interest. This method enables researchers to focus their efforts on their desired targets, as opposed to other methods like whole genome sequencing that involve the sequencing of total DNA. Utilizing targeted sequencing is an attractive option for many researchers because it is often faster, more cost-effective, and only generates applicable data. While there are many approaches...
