Hello,

I have a total 84 GB of Illumina reads (20 lanes total).  I wasn't sure if I could analyze this amount of data on the public server or if this would bog down the system.  I am looking to do a gene expression comparison between two groups of 10 animals using Tophat and Cufflinks.  Can anyone tell me if this is okay or if I must try and use the Cloud for this analysis..  I am assuming the FTP option is the best for uploading this data.  Thank you,

David Martin

Hi all,

I merged Rory's changes into galaxy-central, so Cuffdiff now supports
replicates. I'll see what I can do for Cuffcompare; in the near-term,
repeated merging using Cuffcompare will produce a GTF file that is both
correct and usable with Cuffdiff.

Thanks,
J.
