    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

      Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
      by SEQadmin2



      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

      Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
      by SEQadmin2


      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.

      Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
      by SEQadmin2



      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.
