How much memory and CPU are required for running bwa with hg19 and a fastq file as small as the 1000 genomes ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nih.gov/1000gen...filt.fastq.gz?
Thanks,

You can find the memory use and running time for mapping a 1000Genomes dataset by a few popular aligners including bwa - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23558742 -
Bwa-0.5.x uses ~4GB RAM; 0.6.x+ uses ~5.1GB. On ~5-year-old machines, bwa aligns 100bp reads at ~7Gbp per CPU day; bwa-sw at ~3Gbp per day; the new component bwa-mem at ~14Gbp per CPU day (similar to bowtie2). On the latest Intel CPUs, they can be 50-100% faster.Comment

It seems that in the construction of bwa index, the step Construct SA from BWT and Occ... after
[BWTIncConstructFromPacked] 680 iterations done. 6177547390 characters processed.
[bwt_gen] Finished constructing BWT in 687 iterations.
[bwa_index] 2546.24 seconds elapse.
[bwa_index] Update BWT... 17.80 sec
[bwa_index] Pack forward-only FASTA... 32.21 sec
is very lengthy. What would be the acceptable amount of time for this step?
Thanks

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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
