  • Bowtie2 and 2 GB limit

    I don't think I've posted this before.

    I am attempting to do some mapping with bowtie2, and, despite any of my best efforts, I cannot get bowtie2-build to work on anything larger than 2 GB. From the announcement, it appears that the builders say that they've fixed the limitation (presumably by switching to 64 bit variables), but even when I compile with 64 bits, it still spits this error:
    Error: Reference sequence has more than 2^32-1 characters! Please divide the
    reference into batches or chunks of about 3.6 billion characters or less each
    and index each independently.
    has anyone else had any luck?

    Out of interest what organism are you working on and how long are your contigs/chromosomes? I'm interested because the BAM index files (BAI) themselves currently impose quite a low limit on reference lengths - something that plant biologists at least may find a problem.
