SeqKit: A Cross-Platform and Ultrafast Toolkit for FASTA/Q File Manipulation
Fig 1
Performance comparison for FASTA/Q file parsing.
Dataset A consists of 67,748 DNA sequences with average length of 41 Kb; dataset B is the human genome with 24 chromosomes, one mitochondrial sequence and 169 scaffolds and dataset C contains 9,186,045 Illumina SE reads. All tests were repeated five times, and the average time or memory usage was computed. See supplementary data for details of test data and commands.
