Yeah, they'll take a while to get generated.

Hi... now 24 hours are passed and indexing is still running on my MAc (see previous post of this thread). What can I do now? My processor is dual core... I have to insert an option into the command line to take into account that processor has 2 core?Comment

24 hours seems excessive. Can you see it still using one of your cores? I don't think the indexing can be run multi-core. What species are you trying to index? Perhaps one of us can just create and post the indices so you can download them.Comment

simobioinfo is indexing GRCh37/human. If bandwidth is not a problem then you can download the preformatted bundle (sequence, indexes and annotations) from this link: http://support.illumina.com/sequenci...e/igenome.html
@simobioinfo: This is the sort of thing I was trying to warn you about in terms of user experience.
@Devon: If you have indexes for that known to work on a Mac you could post them for simobioinfo.Comment

I'll give it a whirl on my macbook pro, but it's rather old and low on RAM. Assuming that doesn't work, on Tuesday I'll be back in the office and just use one of our beefier Macs if this isn't resolved by then.Comment

How much RAM does this Mac have? If you look at my previous post you'll see where I said that if you don't have enough RAM it will take very, very long to build in the index. To build the human genome you probably need 5-6GB but you will have to monitor RAM usage as the index is building to know for sure. And it doesn't matter how many cores you have Bowtie2-build is a single process.Originally posted by simobioinfo View PostComment

My mac has 4Gb of RAM. I suppose that it could be enough to build index. I don't know how to check ram usage.Originally posted by biocomputer View PostComment

I was able to build the index on another machine and use it on my macbook pro with 3 gigs of RAM. I really wouldn't recommend doing this on a machine with that little RAM as you end up swapping all the time. Since you have more RAM than my old laptop, hopefully you'll get better performance. I'll post the indices later today and send you a link.Comment

@simbioinfo: I just sent you a PM with some links to the bowtie2 indices that worked on my Mac. Let me know if they work for you.Comment

Thank you everybody. I was on vacation. I will try soon indexes you sent meComment

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
