  • Tophat help: how to maximize CPU performance

    We have got a huge amount of RNAseq data and we would like to optimize/maximize the performance of our computer (wisely use the computer resources to speed up assembly step).
    Any suggestions for this?
    I know there is -p/num-threads for Tophat, how to use it and what is your suggestion for our CPU and memory?
    2 X 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
    24GB 1333MHz DDR3
    Thanks a lot!

    some people said 1 thread per core, so I should set up -p 6? Thanks!

      Don't you have 2x6 cores so 12 cores in total? Anyway a lot of the steps in TopHat aren't multithreaded so you definitely won't get a linear speedup with more threads.

        Thanks!
        Yeah, 12 cores, so can set up 12 threads; and the data set is too big and really need cut off the time of assembly; btw, which steps do you know are multipl-treaded? i saw some people said Bowtie and other people said adjunction parts?

          Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
          by seqadmin




          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...

          Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
          by seqadmin


          Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
