It may be the pairing-rescue is taking a long time. Try disabling that feature with the "-U" flag. It most likely will not affect the results too much.

bfast jobs for analyzing AB's SOLiD data
Hello bfast experts,
I have split the output of AB SOLiD reads into different "reads.j.fastq" files for a speedy parallel processing. Each fastq file ~ 100MB.
I would really like your help now to resolve an ambiguity in analysis time of the independent bfast jobs. This analysis refers to PART-B of my pervious post.
Some jobs have converged with final outputs (called *.sam files) in < 5hrs (one of them as little as 1.5 hrs).
Some jobs seem to be "progressing" much slowly - walltime is nearing 24hrs and its stuck in "bfast postprocess" step. Steps "bfast match" and "bfast localalign" have completed. The output *.sam file size is indeed incrementing slowly. I am concerned about the 5-20 fold diversity in the time duration for results to converge. The jobs are all running on single cores ( I have no choice there - it a matter of principle) - housed at central facility hosting hundreds of uniform cores. So there is uniformity of hardware on the compute nodes.
Is the diversity in computation a cause of concern indicating a poor reads library preparation or is this the norm .. sometimes results converge after many more iterations than they would otherwise ! It could be stochastic .. Can one implement a flag in bfast postprocess that can speed up computation - AND also use the color space information. I prefer not to compromise on the accuracy of aligning the reads ..
Hope you can please help,
Thanks very much,
a bfast analyzer.Last edited by genome_anawk1; 05-20-2011, 11:03 AM.Tags: None

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...-

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
