    DEXSeq parallelization error

    Hi everyone!

    I have been attempting to parallelize DEXseq on our SGE cluster using the biocparallel
    method described in the latest DEXseq vignette (version 1.16) because it takes forever
    to run on one CPU (I have never actually gotten the whole analysis to finish, it gets stuck
    at estimateDispersions). I have 26 RNAseq samples with 262,969 exons each.

    My Rout report is pasted at the end of this email and my qsub command is as follows:

    qsub -pe mpi 5 -l h_vmem=10G -b y -cwd -N dexseq R CMD BATCH dexClust.R

    However, once I submit the script to the cluster, it doesn't actually use the 50G of RAM
    and it has at its disposal. It uses a maximum mem of 10G and then never actually gets
    past the the estimateDispersions step. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Could you perhaps help? Also, I have tried submitting it to the cluster with one CPU and 20G of RAM,
    and it only used 2Gb of RAM....and it has been running for 3 days...

    I would really appreciate any suggestions anyone might have!

    Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
    by SEQadmin2



    Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

    Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
    by SEQadmin2



    Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

    There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

    Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by GATTACAT
    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
