Time consumption for a Metagenomic Analysis

[Nilaksha]

Hi all,

I'm a new comer to bioinformatics and have developed a pipeline to do metagenomic analysis using Galaxy, and currently running a fasta file of 4mb, (around 4000sequences). It seems like the mega blasting process would consume more than two days to finish up, so I doubt whether there is a problem in my proceedings . Could anyone give me the time consumptions for their respectie metagenomic pipelines. ? (Reads are averagely 80 bps generated by ion torrent PGM)

It would be difficult to give you time estimates in terms of how long it may take to complete the job since the underlying hardware would not be the same nor would the size/type of data. If the job is running in galaxy best thing is to leave it alone and let it finish.
