    CuffDiff tries to get 23G swap and is killed

    Folks

    I am having trouble getting a CuffDiff run to successfully complete. It runs
    24-28 hours then gets killed by my LSF scheduler with an exit code of 137
    which translates to 9 or job memory issues.

    The accounting info is below
    Accounting information about this job:
    Share group charged </hazards>
    CPU_T WAIT TURNAROUND STATUS HOG_FACTOR MEM SWAP
    736582.94 5 107561 exit 6.8480 23214M 26089M


    The job is getting killed because its asking for 26G of swap which is not available.

    I have tried a series of runs halving the --max-bundle-frags from the default 1000000 (--max-bundle-frags 250000 is the most recent failure ) . I am looking at 19 conditions at once because the researchers asked for an all vs all comparison. The size of the 19 conditions ranges from 60-128 million reads(single end actually). Both Tophat141/Bowtie0.12.9 and Tophat2.0.7/Bowtie0.12.9 align the files just fine. No errors with CuffMerge

    I am using CuffLinks 2.0.2 and using -p 16. My compute nodes have 24G ram and 2G swap.

    Are there other options I could evaluate to try to get CuffDiff to ask for less memory?

    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

    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.
