    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?

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
