Hello everybody!
I am a postdoc in a brand new small research group, and I am in charge of setting the the IT structure for analysis. My boss would like to buy a mini cluster (budget around 10 - 30k euros), but I have no idea what specs I should look for. I'd be interested in having your opinion. I was thinking of a machine with maybe 4 nodes (we are a small group at the moment).
We are going to do a lot of whole genome bisulfite sequencing mapping, using plant genomes (mostly Arabidopsis, but also maybe tomatoes or other plants with a larger genome). ChIP-seq mapping and SNP calling over large amount of samples will also be done. We don't plan to do genome assembly, but it may happen in the future.
I thank you all in advance for your advice
Sincerely
