I will need to assemble a genome from two PE250 MiSeq runs generating a total of about 12 to 14 Gbp of sequence. Based on some preliminary alignments to genes I had previously cloned and sequenced this would, on average, be better than 10x coverage. Since I don't have access to or funds for time on a computer with sufficient RAM to run something like Velvet, I was looking at Gossamer as an assembler with low hardware resource requirements. My question is this. I may be able to configure a VM for a short amount of time and I am wondering what would be a reasonable amount of vRAM and minimum number of CPU cores to get the assembly done in a reasonable time period.

I missed this somehow, but the Gossamer readme file says:
"Mammalian size genomes have been assembled using goss on a 32 GB Ubuntu machine."
So, since the genome I'll be assembling is about 1 Gbp, I should think that 32 GB of vRAM should be sufficient. If anyone has experience assembling with Gossamer, would there be any advantage to try and up that to 64 GB of RAM?Last edited by lkral; 02-22-2013, 05:56 PM. -
Mac vs Linux computer for MiSeq
Hello,
Can anyone tell if a MacPro is good enough for a basic MiSeq application anaysis?
I found one at apple.com
Mac Pro: 12-Core
Item Price: $4,649.00 Quantity (Mac Pro: 12-Core) Line Price:$4,649.00
Remove (Mac Pro: 12-Core) Save (Mac Pro: 12-Core)
Part number: Z0P2
Available to ship: 2-4 business days
Hardware
Two 2.40GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processors (12 cores)
32GB (8x4GB)
2TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive
ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB
Is this good enough?
Thanks,Comment

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...Today, 07:48 AM -
The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
