[Bioc-devel] Running Time of readBamGappedAlignmentPairs

[Dario Strbenac]

Because I only allowed unique mappings, the ratio is 2. After installing the development package versions, I only got a 10% improvement.

Hi Dario,

The function was optimized in Bioc-devel. Depending on the number
of records in your BAM file (which is more relevant than its size),
it should now be between 2x and 5x faster. Please give it a try and
let us know.

Also keep in mind that the pairing algo will slow down if
the "average nb of records per unique QNAME" is 3 or more.
This was discussed here last month:

Cheers,
H.

Hello,

Could readBamGappedAlignmentPairs be optimised ? It's surprising that it takes an extra 29 minutes to calculate the pairing information, for the example below. The BAM file is 4 GB in size.

> system.time(RNAreads <- readBamGappedAlignmentPairs(file))
   user  system elapsed
1852.16   59.00 1939.11
> system.time(RNAreads <- readBamGappedAlignments(file))
   user  system elapsed
 192.80    8.12  214.97
