Hardware requirements
For analyzing Illumina NextSeq® High Output data:
- 24-core CPU
- 64 GB+ RAM
- 1 TB+ available hard drive space*
Analyzing MiniSeq™ or MiSeq® outputs may be possible on servers with less computational power than the specifications above. Analysis of HiSeq® or NovaSeq™ outputs would require better hardware than is listed.
*Data generated using the Shasta Total RNA-Seq Kit or Shasta Whole-Genome Amplification Kit requires at least six times the size of the input FASTQ files of free hard drive space for analyses with default parameters, and at least ten times the size of the input FASTQ files of free hard drive space for analyses including ribodepletion, immune profiling, and fusion analyses.
Additional third-party software dependencies*
- Conda
- bcl2fastq or BCL Convert for conversation of sequencer FASTQ output files
*Not included with the software; must be downloaded and installed separately.
