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.

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...-

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...-
