pRESTO is part of the Immcantation analysis framework for Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire sequencing (AIRR-seq). pRESTO is a bioinformatics toolkit for processing high-throughput lymphocyte receptor sequencing data.
I was running Presto on MiSeq run samples successfully. Lately, I’ve got a few NextSeq runs to put through the pipeline and, though most of the samples were processed without any issues, I had a few where just the CollapseSeq step took a really long time (33-62 hours).
The thing that annoyed me the most was that three samples took a similar time (33-37 hours) and one took 64 hours. I tried looking at the numbers to figure out if there was a pattern regarding which samples would take longer (as in more raw reads, longer times) but there was no pattern. Here are a few numbers I collected:
The only thing that makes Sample4 outstanding is that it has more unique sequences than the others, although the difference is not proportional to the time it took to processed them.
I would really appreciate any tip or advice regarding what could be going on in here so in the future I could anticipate when this could happen or at least I could give an explanation on why it happened.
