  • SMRT Tools, Parsnp, CLG GWB - NGS Tools System requirements

    Hi,
    I am pretty new to the NGS field and I am configuring a workstation at the moment.

    I'd like to use parsnp and CLC Genomics Workbench. The workstation is a backup for a HPC Cluster and will be used for small bacterial genomes, will this be feasible with the following system:
    Octa-Core
    64 Gb Ram
    16 Tb disk

    I know this is a rather unspecific question and the exact requirements will depend on the size of the genome etc. I am just trying to get a feeling what workstations people use besides using a server- even if the range is very broad :-)

    Coming from the structural biology field, I am used to Ubuntu, it's the Linux distribution most programs install nicely and easy. Is it the same for NGS software or do you suggest a different distribution?

    Thanks a lot for any advice!

    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...
