GPU-Accelerated MinION Basecalling On the HPC
I recently helped the Rockman lab basecall their MinION sequencing data on the Prince HPC, leveraging the power of the GPUs available there. This allowed us to bring the total time required for basecalling down to around five hours, from the two weeks(!) it was going to take on the desktop. Since more people are beginning to perform MinION sequencing here at the Center for Genomics and Systems Biology, I thought it would be helpful Read more…
