    Picard MergeSamFile Memory Increase

    Does anyone know how I can increase the memory allowance of Picard MergeSamFile? The current one always use around 2 to 3G, no matter how much memory the machine actually has... And I can't find any parameter in Picard MergeSamFile that control the memory...

    Wondering whether MergeSamFile is faster with more than 3G memory too...

    Thanks!

      Pass -Xmx XG to your virtual machine where XG is the amount of memory you want
      to use.

      Also, use the multithreading option (USE_THREADING=Boolean) that has been recently added to picard. That should increase the performance by 20% (From the picard docs).

          How Immunogenomics Decodes Immunity’s Genetic Blueprint
          by SEQadmin2




          The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.

          This convergence of genetics, immunology, and computation...

          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          ...
