TrimGalore Multicore Workaround #26

Closed kkapuria3 closed 6 years ago

kkapuria3 commented 6 years ago

Since TrimGalore only runs on two cores, can splitting input files into multiple parts and then running them parallel, and merging the final output files, affect the results.

FelixKrueger commented 6 years ago

Splitting and merging files post trimming should be exactly equivalent to trimming with several cores in parallel.

Perfect ! Thanks a lot.
