  • SSPACE run time - how to improve performance

    Hey guys,

    I'm denovo assembling a 1Gb mussel genome. And I've
    been using PacBio CCS reads and SSPACElong.pl to scaffold my Illumina
    assembly with SOAP. It's looking great, but its taking a long time!

    SOAP has created millions of scaffolds, and I have 13x coverage of PacBio. SSPACE is using 30Gb of RAM in the last 4 days now, and has created around 200 scaffolds... I have given the parameter -t 12 to the program, and I guess its used during the blasr step..

    I was wondering if there is anything else I could do to improve the time performance of the software?

    My command line: >perl SSPACE-LongRead.pl -t 12 -c genome.fasta -p ccs.reads -b output.folder

    Thank you so much!

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    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...

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    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...
