System requirements

To work with CLC Single Cell Analysis Module you will need to have CLC Genomics Workbench 21.1 installed on your computer. With the exception of the requirements below, the system requirements of CLC Single Cell Analysis Module are the same as those for CLC Genomics Workbench (http://resources.qiagenbioinformatics.com/manuals/clcgenomicsworkbench/current/index.php?manual=System_requirements.html)

For mapping of reads, we recommend running on a server. Although a laptop with 16 GB of RAM can be used, the large number of reads are likely to lead to long runtimes when there are more than 1000 cells.

In principle, the remaining tools can be run on modest hardware such as a laptop, especially when the number of cells is under 50000.
