Yes, any reference data isn't disk cached yet so if you have a lot of it, you're going to need more memory. See http://bioinf.scri.ac.uk/tablet/help/memory.shtml if you need to allocate more (Tablet only asks for 1GB by default).

Hi Iain,Originally posted by imilne View Post
Do I need to change the setting tablet.vmoptions? How much should I increase? My PC has around 3.49G of RAM. Please let me know as I am not sure. Thanks.Comment

Yep, you need to edit that file (when Tablet isn't running) and change the value to however much memory you want, but be aware that 32bit Windows probably won't be able to give you more than about 1500MB anyway. Ultimately it might be easier to chop your reference data into smaller pieces, say 1 or 2 chromosomes per file.Originally posted by seq_GA View Post

Ok. Iain, just for testing I just loaded chr10.fa and tablet shows 0 reads from the bam file. I am sure the bam file contains reads (pair end) from chr10.fa. The naming convention is also consistent like chr10 in bam as well as my reference genome starting >chr10. Why none of the reads are displayed. I assumed that even though the bam contains reads from all the chromosomes, I will get to see only reads from chr10. Or do I have to grep for only chr10 into a separate bam file and then upload? Please suggest me on how to proceed. Thanks.Comment

I'm assuming you're seeing 0 because you haven't actually looked at the contig yet? We're not aware of a method of querying a BAM file that will tell us how many reads are in a contig, without actually having to load a block of data. So until you start looking at it, that number will be 0. Once you load a region, and there's reads in that region (no guarantee there either), then the number will change.

CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).
Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.
The systematic characterization of the human proteome has...07-20-2026, 11:48 AM -
Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
