A DNA sequence flows into a laptop running Commec, which screens it locally and returns a flagged result and report

What you need to get started

Commec runs comfortably on a laptop. Here is what we recommend for the best experience.

SSD with 50 GB free

A solid state drive makes screening fast. Leave 50 GB available for databases and working files.

16+ CPU threads

We recommend at least 16 threads to adequately parallelize screening runs, though Commec can run with fewer.

16 GB RAM

Commec requires less memory currently, but 16 GB keeps you future-proof as the software and databases change.

Stable Connection

Stable connection is needed for the database download and updates, under 10 minutes on good Wi-Fi. Commec runs offline after that.
