“install_dependencies.pl” script: an optimization of HDD space during nr-pfilt data extracting and formatting stage

[Anonymous]

Dear fellows,

my “install_dependencies.pl” script is running correctly. Now it is working on the nr-pfilt data extracting and formatting stage. But it’s looked like, that the overall size of nr-databases will be far more than 600 GB and could occupy all free disk space of 1 TB HDD. There is some unnecessary files, which I can remove with no harm for this process? For example, can I delete the text file “nr” in ~/NR-databases/databases (size – 138 GB), while “install_dependencies” works with “nr_pfilt” data extracting and formatting? Is deletion of nr-related files after ~/blast/bin/formatdb script’s copying and formatting them into nr_pfilt-related ones a good solution of that problem?

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Corvin.

I’m not 100% sure of anything that you can delete, but if there are any leftover tgz files from the NR download I believe you can delete those.

it is unfortunate that it takes up so much space, but i believe the next generation of fragment picking will take up signifigantly less space.

is where you can ask the bakerlab’s server to make fragments for you, if you have disk space issues.
