Users often ask how much RAM is required for a de novo genome assembly in Lasergene Genomics Suite, and we addressed that question for Lasergene 12 users in an earlier blog post. We’re excited to announce that with the release … Continue reading →

In a previous post we described the RAM dependencies for de novo genome assemblies, which showed a linear relationship with genome size. Extrapolation for assembling large, eukaryotic genomes would suggest RAM requirements measured in terabytes, but quite often de novo … Continue reading →

DNASTAR recently released a series of white papers that compare alignment and variant calling for next-gen sequence data in Lasergene Genomics Suite to some of our commercial and open source competitors. While these papers primarily focus on accuracy and computational … Continue reading →

  Last week, DNASTAR attended the American Society of Human Genetics Annual Meeting along with nearly 8,000 other attendees. While at the conference, we had the opportunity to meet with many researchers in the fields of human genetics, genomics and … Continue reading →

You’ve prepped your samples, submitted them for sequencing, and finally received a file with your sequence data. Now what? It’s time to assemble, align, and analyze your data and start to make good on that investment you just made! Maybe … Continue reading →

This is a very common question NGS users must address for successful de novo genome assembly and there often isn’t a single correct answer.  A miscalculation here can easily lead to very slow or stalled assemblies.  However, if we make … Continue reading →
