  • QIIME constraints and time to run for 16S Illumina

    Hi, I am looking to help analyse a dataset that consists of a number of 16S (V3-V4) amplicons sequenced on a MiSeq (in triplicate) from a number of data points, with a view to getting the relative abundances of OTUs in the samples.
    I was wondering a few things:
    1) Are there any memory and / or processor-speed constraints when running QIIME, i.e. can you run every step in the pipeline on a reasonably good desktop (i7) with reasonable memory (8GB) in a reasonable time, or do you need to start using clusters or high-memory computers?
    2)Any estimates on how long (for example) it would take to run a simple comparison between sample A and sample B (triplicated) to get relative abundances of OTUs and the appropriate pretty graphs?
    3) Are there any common stumbling blocks that people tend to encounter, either in the setup or the running? I have already set it up natively on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with only a few problems, and I understand the VDIs are good too.

    Any help or feedback appreciated. Cross-posted in "Metagenomics" since I'm not sure which is the most appropriate forum.

    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...
