  • MEME for large datatset

    Hi,
    I am using MEME without any problem for input dataset of about 6 million bases. Whereas I am facing problem in datatset of about 17 million. The program halts mid-way without giving any error message.
    In both cases the -maxsize is set to 150000000 and -motifs=1.
    If it is the problem with data size should i use an alternative to MEME or is it ok if I split the input fasta file into 3 or 4 fasta files and run them individually.

    It would be really great if anybody could help me with this

    Not that I've ever used this program, but did you try running it in verbose mode (quick check on documentation states that you do this by "-V")?

      Thank you for your response.
      The -V option was not helpful.

        Hi,
        maybe I am late. But i think splitting the file is not an option. MEME does EM so you will change background frequencies and therefore the EM-Value itself. The only way this won't happen is when the letter frequencies [A,C,G,T] are the same within all generated files which hardly will be the case.

        I would look for an alternative.

        Hope that helps,

        best

          Hi,
          Thanks a lot for your reply.
          You are right. Splitting the file is not an option.

          I was trying with meme-chip which can handle large data.
          meme-chip by default takes random 600 sequences of 100bp each. But this is not what is required.

          So, I set -ccut to 0 and -nmeme to 6623. But meme-chip throws an error "Dataset too large (> 100000). Rerun with larger -maxsize."
          meme-chip does not have an option to set -maxsize

          No. of sequences - 6623
          Maximum length - 9925
          minimum length - 367

            hey,

            try to check: http://www.biostars.org/p/57125/ or http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/conten...ar.gkr574.full.

              Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
              by seqadmin


              Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
