Bowtie memory error

12-01-2011, 03:29 PM

Hi - I am getting following error with bowtie

"Error: Could not allocate ChunkPool of 67108864 bytes
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'int'"

Our computer has 12 GB memory with quadcore processor. The fasta file size is about 470MB and I am mapping it to the mouse genome. I am using Ubuntu 11.10 OS.

I am using following options: -f --best --quiet -m10 -v2 --fullref --un --al --max -p32 -S m_musculus_ncbi37

Has any one encountered similar problem?

THanks in advance for any help.

Perhaps there are some strict memory limits being enforced; check "ulimit -a".

Ok I was using 32-bit OS and I removed it and installed 64-Bit OS and its working without any problems. Apparently 32-bit version cant use more than 4GB memory.

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.

Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

by SEQadmin2

I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
