    Bowtie2 freezes with 7.5GB RAM

    Hey guys,

    I try to map approx. 30 mio reads onto a inhouse reference. The indexing worked without any error messages. Now I want to do the mapping. The reads are sequenced as paired end but i want to map them as single end with bowtie2 (64bit). Now starting the mapping bowtie crawls up to 7.5 GB allocated RAM and than kind of freezes. Checking the System Monitor (using CentOS 6.4) I get the futex_wat_queue_me for the waiting channel column. The index fastA file is 3.3GB large (so comparable to the human genome which bowtie2 should be capable of). The reads are 100bp illumina ones. my command line is as follows:

    bowtie2 -p 7 --very-fast -x ./Bac_Vir_DB_NCBI_7102013 ./2236/unmapped_leftPool.fq

    I tried the simplest i could think of but even with those settings it has the above described behaviour. Any suggestions what might go wrong?

    Thanks,

    Phil

    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

    New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
    by SEQadmin2


    Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

    We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
