Size of One SOLiD Run

11-16-2009, 12:40 PM

Can anyone tell me the size in GB of one SOLiD run? I'm just interested in the extracted color data (or fasta sequence) not the image files.

I need to know this to tell our IT people how much space we need to back up the extracted data.

Depending on the experiment, we average ~40GB per slide (2 slides per run) for the csfasta and qual files. This is after compression (bzip2) and not including the intensities.

We are moving over to the SRA format for storage, which will remove redundancies with respect to the read names. This will reduce the final storage cost as well.

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...

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.
