System requirements
To work with CLC Microbial Genomics Module 4.5 you will need to have CLC Genomics Workbench version 12.0 installed on your computer. With exception of the requirements below, the system requirements of CLC Microbial Genomics Module 4.5 are the same as the ones required for the CLC Genomics Workbench (http://resources.qiagenbioinformatics.com/manuals/clcgenomicsworkbench/current/index.php?manual=System_requirements.html)
- 8 GB RAM recommended
- Tools using DIAMOND and ShortBRED require CPU with an AVX instruction set
Special requirements for the Taxonomic Profiler.
The quality performance of the Taxonomic Profiler depends on the reference database used - the more complete a database, the better the quality. However, running the Taxonomic Profiler with a given database size will require at least the same amount of memory. For example, running with a 14 GB database requires at least 16 GB of RAM, and running with a 56 GB database requires a minimum of 64 GB RAM. When creating your reference database with the Download Microbial Reference Database tool, you will get a warning about the memory requirements needed for running the Taxonomic Profiler with this database.
Special requirements for De Novo Assemble Metagenome.
It is recommended to have at least 16 GB RAM when running the De Novo Assemble Metagenome.The PCoA 3D viewer requirements are the same as the 3D Molecule Viewer.
The Sunburst viewer makes use of JavaFX and may not work on older Linux kernels. An updated list of requirements for JavaFX can be found at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/downloads/supportedconfigurations-1506746.html.
