  • Casava 1.7 demultiplex.pl slowness

    Hi,

    We notided that the Casava 1.7 demultiplex.pl software take 3 days to demultiplex a paired-end run (2x51) where only 3 lanes was indexed. He spent two days on not indexed lanes (so, normally, just to rename the read3 to read2 I think ?) (config : Linux/Red Hat Sun Fire X4140 server with 2 CPU AMD Opteron 2384 quadri-core, RAM 64 GB ... parallelization 'make -8' used).

    Apparently, there is a problem with the "demultiplexTile" program , which apparently spent 50% of its CPU time to do the system command "stat" :

    stat("./001/s_7_1_0041_qval.txt.gz.tmp", 0x7fff85fea4e0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    stat("/env/export/nfs9/solexa/TRANSFERT/110406_MERCURE_B01LEABXX/Data/Intensities/BaseCalls/s_7_1_0041_qval.txt.gz", 0x7fff85fea6e0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    stat("/env/export/nfs9/solexa/TRANSFERT/110406_MERCURE_B01LEABXX/Data/Intensities/BaseCalls/s_7_2_0041_qval.txt.gz",0x7fff85fea6e0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

    Illumina's tech support solved my problem with an incremental version of this software include in the CASAVA-1.7.1a5 package.

    This version is actually much more efficient : 2 hours instead of 3 days

    I don't know if I am an isolated case ... maybe this will help some of you

    bye

    I solved that problem in january after 2 weeks of thinking our nfs server was collapsing. One email to tech support fixed it.

    I would have liked for them to acknowledge the problem and notify their clients about it. Oh well, Casava 1.8 is out now, so back to the drawing board.

      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...
