My job ran out of all availabel memory when I used Cufflinks. My input file is the output from Tophat. Does anyone know how to split my input into smaller chunks or in some other way to reduce the the amount of memory my program allocates?

Hey y'all,
I am having a similar problem: cufflinks on a 10BG+ bam file leads to huge memory usage (and subsequent job stop). zorph, your idea of runnign cufflinks on each chromosome separately sounds good. I wouldn't worry about it messing up your fpkm because it is probably wise not to use fpkm to quantify expression. Instead, use a normalization scheme based on edgeR or DESeq methods. Both programs come up with library size estimates that are robust against a few differentially expressed genes unlike fpkm.
So the flow would be:
1. split cufflinks runs by chromosome
2. use the output from cufflinks (transcripts.gtf) as your gene models, and then run an overlapping program (like bedops; http://code.google.com/p/bedops/) to get the RNA-seq counts for each gene
3. normalize the counts using DESeq or edgeR
4. do your statistical comparison (DESeq is good for this step, too; here is a really straight-forward vignette: http://bioconductor.org/packages/dev.../doc/DESeq.pdf)
cheers,

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
