    Help! Picard`s AddOrReplaceReadGroups.jar t

    To whom it may concern,

    I want to work with SNP calling using GATK.

    I`ve been trying to use the Picard`s AddOrReplaceReadGroups.jar tool to convert sam file to bam file.
    But Picard stopped(without any error message). This size of sam file is 40Gb and I think this is bigger than my computer memory.

    My file size is 30Gb fastq file.

    My work flow is follow:

    1) bwa index -a bwtsw hg19

    2) bwa aln -t 6 hg19 sample.fastq > sample.sai

    3) bwa samse hg19 sample.sai sample.fastq > sample.sam --> 40Gb

    4) java -Djava.io.tmpdir=/tmp -Xmx8g -jar /myPath/AddOrReplaceReadGroups.jar \
    INPUT=sample.sam OUTPUT=sample.addRG.bam \
    SORT_ORDER=coordinate \
    RGID=sample RGLB=sampleLIB RGPL=ILLUMINA \
    RGPU=NONE RGSM=sample \
    VALIDATION_STRINGENCY=LENIENT

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Problem happens when I run step 4. Whenever I run this step, the process stop and I am not able to do anything.

    I would appreciate any help.

        try add this parameter -XX:PermSize=8g -XX:MaxPermSize=8g after -Xmx8g. It will assign more java heap space to picards

          Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
          by SEQadmin2



          CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

          Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

          Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
          by SEQadmin2


          Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

          The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
