    Isaac (http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals...ent/29/16/2041) was possibly designed for human data but should be usable for other genomes. Illumina has released pre-built indexes only for Hg19 but indexes can be built for other genomes (I have not tried it yet). Isaac aligner in HAS uses 32-mer seeds.
    Another PhD student discovered it doesn't work for the sheep genome, which has | in the name of chromosomes.

    e.g.

    I don't see the point of variant calling for a draft genome, though.

      So is anyone using Phi in bioinformatics these days ? We do have a great number of compute bound processes (blastx, blastx) in a productive pipeline which could be sped up.

      I do wonder about the utility for typical IO and memory bound bioinformatics applications such as NGS though.

        I haven't found a good use for the Phi co-processor. As you imply -- IO and memory bound problems are not a good match.

          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...
