Definitely more memory. A lot of people are writing terrible code that wastes tons of memory, and it's better to run programs slowly than not be able to run them at all. -
Computer Hardware: CPU vs. Memory
Hi, I am planning to build a computer for next-gen analysis with a tight budget. The main application is de novo assembly, re-sequencing, and RNA-seq.
I can choose either two AMD 8-core CPUs (16 cores total) with 16G memory or one AMD 8-core CPU with 24G memory. My question is whether I should invest in # of cores or memory capacity in this case.
Thank you,
Douglas

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
