Our lab is planning a project which aims to analyze up to 100 human biopsy exome-sequencing data for the next couple of years. I hope I could get some feedbacks here.
Considering the data are likely come with higher coverage, we are thinking of upgrading our current setup. We are also interested in parallelized the primary analytical pipeline in order to save more time for downstream analysis (variants filtering, statistical testing using R).
1. Is it sensible to look for a desktop workstation with 2x6 cores, 96G RAM, 2x1.5TB 7200RPM which at least serve us well for the next few years?
2. Is ~USD8000 enough if we decided to purchase it in mid- 2012?
Thanks!
