Hey Seqanswers- I'm in a bind,
I'm soon going to be in receipt of Illumina Hi-seq PE genomic reads for a non-model plant with genome about 400Mb. I'm OK re software for de novo assembly, but my problem is that I don't have reliable hardware: I've been trying to use iPlant, but it's looking like their hardware is turning out to be unreliable (sorry to say) and I need to get these reads de novo assembled into a draft genome.
I work at a small university with no computer core that can lend me a few hundred spare gigs of RAM, so I'm in need of other options. I'm new to this stuff in general, but I've heard about Galaxy- does Galaxy (like iPlant) have the capability to assemble WGS reads uploaded to their server?
Any recommendations welcome!
