    problem with picard fixmateinfo

    command used in a function defined in a BASH script:
    Code:
    java -Xmx$JAVA_RAM -Xms$JAVA_RAM -jar /UCHC/HPC/Everson_HPC/picard/bin/FixMateInformation.jar \
    MAX_RECORDS_IN_RAM=$MRECORDS \
    I=./GATK_prep/$1.addReadGroups \
    O=./GATK_prep/$1.fixMateInfo
    exception that resulted:
    Code:
    grep Exception qsub_logs/SKA091711TCBL5B.step2-6.*
    qsub_logs/SKA091711TCBL5B.step2-6.err:Exception in thread "main" net.sf.samtools.util.RuntimeIOException: java.io.IOException: No space left on device

    I have recently freed almost 7 TB of data that we had been storing on this cluster's user share (which is approximately 84T in size and only 75% used). The run on this file is not producing enough data to warrant hitting any user-based quotas that I would not have already encountered previously if they had been in place. In fact I can create many duplicate copies of large files manually with no disk usage warnings.

    And yet picard's tool claims it is running out of disk space. Whats wrong? How do I get past this error?

    I would explicitly declare a scratch directory, as I've had this issue in the past with FixMateInfo:

    Code:
    -Djava.io.tmpdir= /your_scratch_directory
    Also, somewhat redundant, but just to be safe add:

    Code:
    TMP_DIR=/your_scratch_directory
    Good luck.

        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...

        From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
        by SEQadmin2


        Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


        The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
