I want to process some mouse genomes on an ion torrent with a 10G chip and I'd like to use the variant caller plugin. Does anyone have any idea how long that could take to run on one of their servers?
Thank you!
Thank you!

The PGM doesn't have a 10G chip.
Do you mean the Proton system? That will get you about 100M reads at 200bp; should take a couple of hours on the hardware that ships with the Proton (if you use the Life Tech variant caller). -

I was also wondering if there is any manuals or anything about how to use the torrent suite modules such as the analysis moduleComment

I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
