System requirements
- Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008
- Mac OS X 10.6 or later. However, Mac OS X 10.5.8 is supported on 64-bit Intel systems.
- Linux: Red Hat 5.0 or later. SUSE 10.2 or later. Fedora 6 or later.
- 1024 x 768 display recommended
- Intel or AMD CPU required
- Special requirements for read mapping. The numbers below give minimum and recommended memory for systems running mapping and analysis tasks. The requirements suggested are based on the genome size. Systems with less memory than specified below will benefit from installing the legacy read mapper plugin (see http://www.clcbio.com/plugins). This is slower than the standard mapper but adjusts to the amount of memory available.
- E. coli K12 ( 4.6 megabases)
- Minimum: 500Mb RAM
- Recommended: 1Gb RAM
- C. elegans ( 100 megabases) and Arabidopsis thaliana ( 120 megabases)
- Minimum: 1Gb RAM
- Recommended: 2Gb RAM
- Zebrafish ( 1.5 gigabases)
- Minimum: 5Gb RAM
- Recommended: 8Gb RAM
- Human ( 3.2 gigabases) and Mouse ( 2.7 gigabases)
- Minimum: 16Gb RAM
- Recommended: 24Gb RAM
- E. coli K12 ( 4.6 megabases)
- Special requirements for de novo assembly. De novo assembly may need more memory than stated above - this depends both on the number of reads, error profile and the complexity and size of the genome. See http://www.clcbio.com/white-paper for examples of the memory usage of various data sets.
- 64 bit computer and operating system required to use more than 2GB RAM
