Sequence generated by Ion Torrent, MiSeq and Pacific Biosciences technologies displays near perfect coverage behaviour on GC-rich, neutral and moderately AT-rich genomes, but a profound bias was observed upon sequencing the extremely AT-rich genome of Plasmodium falciparum on the PGM, resulting in no coverage for approximately 30% of the genome. We analysed the ability to call variants from each platform and found that we could call slightly more variants from Ion Torrent data compared to MiSeq data, but at the expense of a higher false positive rate. Variant calling from Pacific Biosciences data was possible but higher coverage depth was required. Context specific errors were observed in both PGM and MiSeq data, but not in that from the Pacific Biosciences platform.
In the context of the GC-rich genome of B. pertussis, most platforms gave similar uniformity of sequence coverage, with the Ion Torrent data giving slightly more uneven coverage. In the S. aureus genome the PGM performed better. The PGM gave very biased coverage when sequencing the extremely AT-rich P. falciparum genome (Figure 1). This affect was also evident when we plotted coverage depth against GC content (Additional file 2: Figure S4). Whilst the PacBio platform gave a sequence dataset with quite even coverage on GC and extremely AT-rich contexts, it did demonstrate slight but noticeable unevenness of coverage and bias towards GC-rich sequences with the S. aureus genome. With the GC-neutral S. Pullorum genome all platforms gave equal coverage with unbiased GC representation (data not shown).

The most dramatic observation from our results was the severe bias seen when sequencing the extremely AT-rich genome of P. falciparum on the PGM. The result of this was deeper than expected coverage of the GC-rich var and subtelomeric regions and poor coverage within introns and AT-rich exonic segments (Figure 2), with approximately 30% of the genome having no sequence coverage whatsoever. This bias was observed with libraries prepared using both enzymatic and physical shearing (Additional file 2: Figure S1).
Illustration of platform-specific errors. The panels show Artemis BAM views with reads (horizontal bars) mapping to defined regions of chromosome 11 of P. falciparum from PacBio (P; top), Ion Torrent (I; middle) and MiSeq (M; bottom). Red vertical dashes are 1 base differences to the reference and white points are indels. A) Illustration of errors in Illumina data after a long homopolymer tract. Ion torrent data has a drop of coverage and multiple indels are visible in PacBio data. B) Example of errors associated with short homopolymer tracts. Multiple insertions are visible in the PacBio Data, deletions are observed in the PGM data and the MiSeq sequences read generally correct through the homopolymer tract. C) Example of strand specific deletions (red circles) observed in Ion Torrent data.
We sequence many isolates of the malaria parasite P. falciparum as it represents a significant health issue in developing countries; this organism leads to several million deaths per annum. There are several active large sequencing programs (e.g. MalariaGEN [13]) that are currently aiming to sequence thousands of clinical malaria samples. As the malaria genome has a GC content of only 19.4% [14], we use it as one of our test genomes, representing a significant challenge to most sequencing technologies. Based on the present study, use of Illumina sequencing technology with libraries prepared without amplification [4] leads to the least biased coverage across this genome. Ion Torrent semiconductor sequencing is not recommended for sequencing of extremely AT-rich genomes, due to the severe coverage bias observed. This is likely to be an artifact introduced during amplification. Therefore, avoidance of library amplification and/or emPCR, or use of more faithful enzymes during emPCR, may eliminate the bias.
With such extreme terrain diversity in trail running and the specific needs of our feet and bodies, there is no single best trail running shoe for everyone and every condition. In this section, we profile five incredible shoes that cover a breadth of ground as far as for whom and for what conditions they excel.
Quite frankly, in all but the most extreme situations, any pair of running shoes will work on the trails. That said, read the next point as to why you might want to pick up a pair of trail shoes after all!
Beyond data processing speed, scalability is also impacted by data generation, storage, and integration. Nanopore sequencing presents the fastest turnaround time. Once DNA is extracted, sequencing is underway in a matter of minutes to hours, and the PromethION sequencer provides adjustable high throughput with individually addressable parallel flow cells. All other library preparation procedures are more labour intensive, and sequencing may have to await pooling to fill a run, and flow cells need to be run in succession rather than in parallel. The raw nanopore data is however extremely voluminous (about 20 bytes per base), leading to substantial IT costs for large projects. SMRT movies are not saved for later re-basecalling, and the sequence and kinetic information takes up a smaller 3.5 bytes per base. Furthermore, hybrid methods incorporating strengths from other technologies such as optical mapping (Bionano, OpGen) and Hi-C add to the cost and analytical complexity of genomic projects. For these, manual data integration is a significant bottleneck, but the rewards are worth the effort.
qBittorrent is a free and open-source torrent client based on the Qt 5 toolkit and the libtorrent-rasterbar library. qBittorrent is known for being remarkably safe and fast. Plus, it includes feature highlights such as a built-in torrent search engine, a torrent creator, and a fantastic web UI.
qBittorrent is a cross-platform and open-source torrent client. It is supported by major operating systems, including Linux, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, and OS/2. The qBitorrent application is written in C++ and based on the Qt 5 toolkit and the libtorrent-rasterbar library. It is available in 70 different languages.
qBittorrent is designed to serve as an excellent open-source (and free) alternative to uTorrent, BitTorrent, and other commercial BitTorrent clients in the market. The software is known to be reasonably reliable, stable, and fast.
You can also download qBittorrent from source tarball or binaries. All source tarballs and binaries are PGP signed (public key for PGP signing) starting from qBittorrent v3.3.4. You can download qBittorrent source tarball from TAR.GZ and PGP signature (SourceForge)
A healthy torrent swarm has a good share ratio between seeders (users with the entire file) and peers (the users getting the content and helping distribute it. A third player comes into place, leechers the users downloading the content but not uploading it. If the share ratio within a torrent swarm is unbalanced, for instance, there are more leechers than peers, everyone in the swarm will experience slow speeds.
qBittorrent uses a TCP port to establish communications with peers and trackers (except DHT, which uses various UDP ports to communicate with peers). Within local networks, firewalls and NATs do not simply trust any outsider (peer) from accessing the local network through the requesting port.
The previous section dealt with the best qBittorrent settings for speed. But still, aside from getting good speed rates, torrent users usually also want to improve their anonymity. There are a couple of qBittorrent settings and tools outside the client that can help you protect your privacy.
NOTE for Private Tracker users: Bear in mind that if you are downloading torrents from a private tracker, the Anonymous mode will remove the entire information from the torrent tracker. Private trackers use passkeys to identify themselves, so if this is removed, you will not be recognized as a valid user. You will not be able to connect to the tracker and the torrent swarm.
Proxies are exceptional for improving the privacy of torrents. Although they do not encrypt traffic (as VPNs do), they help by masking your IP in torrent swarms. Of course, proxies were not designed for the same purpose as VPNs (VPNs vs. proxies), so they can be suitable for different use cases. For instance, proxies do not encrypt traffic, making them faster than VPNs for torrenting.
Seedboxes are cloud-based Virtual Private Servers (VPS) built explicitly for torrenting. Seedboxes like Rapidseedbox come with pre-installed torrenting applications, including qBittorrent, BitTorrent, uTorrent, and other applications like Plex, VPN, Jackett, and Brave, to make the torrenting even better. Rapidseedbox offers shared or dedicated seedboxes with speeds ranging from 1GBps to 10GBps.
With a seedbox, you download and upload torrents from and to the VPS seedbox and only use your local computer for remote login and torrent management. Torrents and their content are stored in the cloud, and when you want to download them to your premises, you can use other secure methods like RSync or SFTP. In addition, you can also use a seedbox with a Plex media server to organize and stream all your content online.
qBittorrent comes with a uTorrent-like secure web User Interface (UI). You can remotely control the software through the secure UI. As of the newest qBitTorrent v4.22, you can use custom unofficial Qt UI themes on all operating systems.
You can also use customized unofficial Qt UI themes for all platforms. For instance, you can download a different version of the qBittorrent dark theme from its official repository [qBittorrentDarktheme] and install it.
One of the cool features of qBittorrent is that it comes with an integrated torrent search engine (written in Python). The search engine allows you to search for torrents on simultaneous torrent search sites and specify your search request based on category, for instance, music, movies, books, software, etc. 2ff7e9595c
