Dear list,
a colleague of mine want's to use an array on MinIONs in the context of metabarcoding. While we don't have the devices at hand yet, I think from the specs it should be possible to have several MiniIONs connected to one server:
Data production rate:
>Clive Brown's goal is running at 1300 bases per second, which would be a theoretical maximum throughput of about 30Mb per minute, or 2 Gb per hour on the MinION.
(http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71774)
While the device produces data at in Kbps rate, USB 3.0 should handle X00 Mbps (all data analysis could be done offline, when we have the FAST5).
As far as I understand, it's necessary to use ONT's proprietary MinKNOW for the data acquisition and generating the HDF5-derived FAST5 (e.g. poretools seem to require MinKNOW)?
Does MinKNOW supports data acquisition from multiple physical devices? Is anybody using a set-up with multiple instances of 'MinKNOW' on the same host with several MinIONs e.g. using virtualisation/dockerized layers?
Thanks for you help,
CPW.
