  • running TopHat with ~1.2 billion reads

    Any tips for the quickest way to get TopHat to complete alignment of a very large dataset (~1.2 billion 75bp Single end HiSeq reads)? I considered splitting it into 10 but then realized this would risk treating identical reads in the ten subsets as unique in the final file. I'm looking to keep anything that maps up to 10 locations, with up to three mismatches and three bp indels:
    Code:
     -p 16 -g 10 --read-mismatches 3 --read-gap-length 3 --read-edit-dist 3
    .

    Thanks,

    Shurjo

    Split it, and dedup it later?

      Do you have to use Tophat?
      STAR will do split read alignment in a small fraction of the time that it takes Tophat.

        GPU option

        SOAP3-dp is very fast as long as you are ok with only up to 4 mismatches.

          All of these sound very logical. I'm going to step out of my TopHat-based comfort zone and try STAR and SOAP3-dp.

          ECO, nice to see the forum doing so well. I've been away from this world for a bit but am coming back soon.

          Thanks everyone,

              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...
