ROSALIND TOOLS
Prototype for a simple sort-based gene sequence aligner.
On all platforms:
Build using the makefile.
On Windows, use vcvars64_amd.bat to set environment variables
before building. This file comes with your visual studio in
Program Files.
Altrnatively, on Windows, use the VC2012 solution provided to
rosalind-align.cpp
To run:
bin/rosalind-align 1.fq.gz 2.fq.gz ref.fa.gz -o results.sam
For large runs, we suggest the following options on a 16GB machine:
--seed-buffer-size=10000 --read-chunk-size=32000000 --reverse-ref --percent-seeds=12
The seed buffer size depends on memory. You can experiment with the read chunk
size. Larger settings increase performance providing memory is available but will
reduce performance if memory runs out.
Always use a SSD! Mechanical hard drives are obsolete.
