While an M3 Ultra Mac Studio was used for the computing tasks, and inspired DIYers should “budget 100GB free per run” of the sequencer, they suggest “a recent Apple Silicon Mac (M3 or later, with enough RAM) is sufficient.” However, an Nvidia DGX Spark could do the processing up to 5x faster.
It isn’t revealed what the intrepid DIYer learned from their own process – perhaps it is too personal, but they insist that “the things you can do with this [mapped genome] file are vast.” One suggestion for potential followers is to run results through DeepMind's AlphaGenome. The DIYer even ends by saying they’re happy to help fellow genome-curious folks, bringing their MinION along, depending on location. A contact form is provided to reach out.

scottsoapbox So how much is professional sequencing? 5 grand isn’t cheap for less accurate measurement. Reply

ackza Even if fair it's still cool and should still be funded cuz I bet u can still do it for real for like $30k Reply
