  • SOAPdenovo

    Has anyone tried the new SOAPdenovo program for assembling short reads and compared it to velvet etc? Their website claims that it can assemble human-sized genomes (eg panda) without crazy-high RAM (~150Gb) requirements.

    Actually their website says the opposite.

    SOAPdenovo aims for large plant and animal genomes, although it also works well on bacteria and fungi genomes. It runs on 64-bit Linux system with a minimum of 5G physical memory. For big genomes like human, about 150 GB memory would be required.

      I guess I should have been clearer in my post to say that the 150GB RAM requirement of SOAPdenovo for a human sized genome seems to be much lower than estimates I've seen for other short read de novo programs (>500GB RAM).

        Advancing Precision Medicine for Rare Diseases in Children
        by seqadmin




        Many organizations study rare diseases, but few have a mission as impactful as Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine (RCIGM). “We are all about changing outcomes for children,” explained Dr. Stephen Kingsmore, President and CEO of the group. The institute’s initial goal was to provide rapid diagnoses for critically ill children and shorten their diagnostic odyssey, a term used to describe the long and arduous process it takes patients to obtain an accurate...
