    Stampy alignment

    Hello all,

    Does anybody have the experience of using stampy for alignment?

    Based on stampy's document:

    Fast: about 20 Gbase per hour in hybrid mode (using BWA)
    Low memory footprint: 2.7 Gb shared memory for a 3Gbase genome

    Our pair of fastq file (pair end) of the same lane has less than 100m reads, 10Gbase (101bp per reads), so the alignment should be completed in one hour, but actually it took >120hrs to finish.

    We use stampy 1.0.10 combined with bwa 0.5.8c, the memory using is about 7G, I just wonder that stampy needs big memory to reach its best performance.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    You quote correctly from the README, but the numbers are unfortunately incorrect. Instead of 20 Gbase/hour, it is 15 hours / Gbase (as given in the paper). Apologies for the mistake.

    In version 1.11 (to be released later today) I've implemented a speedup for longer reads, which should give a decent performance boost for your data set.

    Best wishes
    Gerton

      16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
      by SEQadmin2





      NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      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
