Hi, I am trying to choose a metagenome assembler that would be able to run efficiently on a cluster (utilising cores from different nodes and using shared memory). While there are many very good assemblers out there (IDBA-UD, SPAdes, Meta-Velvet), it seems that only Ray-Meta is able to run in parallel. Are there any alternatives to Ray-Meta, or should I just stick to it?

rhinoceros, I completely agree with your point. Although I spent 3 days last time waiting for IDBA-UD to finish running, I got quite good contigs in the end.
I just wanted to know if there is a way to decrease waiting time, so I turned to the use of cluster. As far as I understood, IDBA-UD was not capable of parallel computing, and I compared Ray-Meta output to IDBA-UD output. Unfortunately, it seems that IDBA-UD is a better option for the reads I have.

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...-

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...-
