  • Running TopHat/Cufflinks on Google Compute Engine

    Does anyone have any experience using the Google Compute Engine (or Amazon Web Services, or any other IAAS for that matter) to do RNA-Seq analysis with TopHat? The computers I have available are not at all suited to the task, and so I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has used one of these services.

    GoogleCompute

    Hi
    I'm also interested in hearing of anyone doing analyses on GoogleCompute. It seems much more functional and certainly cheaper now.
    Thanks

      I used Amazon Web Services EC2 to analyze some RNA-Seq data with Bowtie, Tophat and Cufflinks a few years ago.

      I used a Ubuntu Linux ami, with 16 Gigabytes of ram, which doesn't seem like a lot now. I had files with 90 million 1X50 reads. I had started off with either a
      4 Gb or 8 Gb machine, but got segmentation faults.

      I just used a basic Linux ami, so I had to install all the bioinformatics software i wanted to use, like the Bowtie, Tophat, etc.

          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...
