MosaikAligner: Low reads/sec
I recently decided on using the Mosaik tools as they support Sanger-sequenced data. However, when I run MosaikAligner on a relatively small query set (1.9MB with 1000 sequences) on a cluster with 48 cores, I have a problem with the number of reads per second processed. When MosaikAligner starts out, I have a read rate of 15 reads/sec but this number continuously drops to below .1 reads/sec at which rate even such a small subset of my reads will take over an hour to align. I tested the aligner first using only a 10 sequence query file from the same data set and the alignment was almost instantaneous. Has anyone else used the Mosaik tools and experienced similar problems?

I should mention I'm using these parameters:
-bw 51 -hs 15 -m all -p 48 -mmp .2 -dh
and using a jump database for the reference genome. -
I want to use Mosaik API but when i execute make command in c++ or perl it give error like MosaikAlignment.h:441: error: ‘uint64_t’ does not name a type
MosaikAlignment.h:442: error: ‘uint64_t’ does not name a type
MosaikAlignment.h:444: error: ‘uint64_t’ does not name a type
MosaikAlignment.h:495: error: ‘uint64_t’ does not name a type
MosaikAlignment.h:497: error: ‘uint64_t’ does not name a type
MosaikAlignment.h:527: error: ‘uint64_t’ does not name a type
MosaikAlignment.h:528: error: ‘uint64_t’ does not name a type
MosaikAlignment.h:579: error: ‘uint64_t’ does not name a type
MosaikAlignment.h:582: error: ‘uint64_t’ does not name a type
MosaikAlignment.h:584: error: ‘uint64_t’ does not name a type
MosaikAlignment.h:585: error: ‘uint64_t’ does not name a type
make: *** [MosaikConversionMain.o] Error 1
so any body can help me how i can use API for c++ or perl.Comment

shahid.manzoor, you should start a new thread with your question instead of adding to threads regarding other topics...
Anyway, back to bre's question. I have the exact same problem. I have Illumina 76-mers from exome-capture experments and aligning 1M reads to chr 21 of hg19 using the parameters
on my 8-core, 108Gb machine. The alignment is roughly 15reads/sec initally but slowly falling to <1 read/sec. I'm not using a jump database for this.Code:-mm 12 -act 35 -p 6 -bw 29
Anyone else seen and/or solved this?
Thanks

Ultimately I decided Mosaik wasn't suited to my needs so unfortunately I can't give you a solution...Comment

CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).
Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM -
Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
