    mpiBLASTx

    Hello,

    This might be the wrong sub-forum, but how long should 55,000 cDNAs take to blastx using mpiBLAST? We are using 16 nodes.

    Thanks,
    Andor

    It depends on other factors besides the number of sequences, such as the length of the database and the computational resources, so it is probably not possible to make a sensible prediction. 55k sequences is not a large number by any means and you may want to try using multiple CPUs on a single node vs. multiple nodes to see if using mpiBLAST offers a real advantage.

      Is that a preparatory question or are you already running this and want to know how long it may take.

      It may be easier to break your search in multiple files and run them in parallel using standard blastx as independent jobs on your cluster. mpiBlast is probably using an older implementation of blast, unless you are planning to use the commercial version (abokia blast).

        Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
        by seqadmin




        The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...
