  • Speeding Up Soapdenovo2

    Hi,
    I am working on some de novo assemblies with Soapdenovo2 with the multi-mer option, and wanted to know if anyone has experience with getting these crunched quickly-ish.
    Specifically, can Soap split itself over multiple nodes on a cluster (via SLURM)? All examples sbatch scripts I see have it use only one node and 8 cpus. I have access to more if it can use it.

    Details on what I'm running currently:

    My data: 33M (x2) reads of paired end Illumina, 150b read length on fragments in the 300-400bp range. Interleaved in a *.fa. Animal genome, estimating ~100-300Mb.

    Relevant SBATCH info:
    Code:
    #SBATCH --nodes=1
    #SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=8
    #SBATCH --time=40:00:00
    #SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=4000
    SOAPdenovo-63mer all -s MYCONFIG -K 63 -m 57 -R -o TESTRUN 1>TEST_ass.log 2>TEST_ass.err
    MYCONFIG:
    Code:
    max_rd_len=150
    [LIB]
    # most options just commented out, assuming defaults are fine for my short paired data
    avg_ins=350
    asm_flags=3
    rank=1
    p=TESTDATA.fa
    For Soapdenovo2, what's the best combination of resources to crank up? Nodes? ntasks (and correspondingly the -p parameter for my run command)? mem-per-cpu?

    Thank you!

    Just for anyone wandering in later with a similar question, after getting some more info, we are trying this:


    #SBATCH --nodes=4
    #SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=8
    #SBATCH –-mem=128000
    #SBATCH --time=168:00:00


    Should be plenty to let SOAP do it's thing as quickly as it can, hopefully.

      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...
