  • Bowtie2 refusing to parallelize job

    Hi guys, today I had a problem that I never heard of before.
    I am aligning some transcriptome samples agains different references (mammals).
    At first I tried to run these alignments in a Mac pro (2012), running Linux Mint 18.2 (kernel 4.10.0-33-generic), and bowtie2 (2.2.6) piping the output to samtools (1.5) for converting to bam on the fly.
    I did the references normally (bowtie2-build etc etc...) for all the ten mammals downloaded from NCBI (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/browse/) using the same Linux machine.
    I wrote the scripts in order to use all the cores available. At first, it was running correctly, using as many cores as I told to, but today it was using ony one... I did some tests and I realized that this only happens with a specific reference, not with others.
    Thinking that perhaps it was a problem with the machine, I shared the data through NFS to a Centos 7 machine (kernel 3.10.0-514.16.1.el7.x86_64) and bowtie2 (2.2.9) piping the output to samtools (1.3.1) for converting to bam on the fly. Same problem here...

    Now I am rebuilding the referenses using this second machine.

    Basically bowtie is refusing to parallelize.

    Any clue?

    Thank you!

    Solved

    Guys, problem solved when I rebuild the references. I do not know what caused this, but now is everything ok with both systems.

      Advanced Tools Transforming the Field of Cytogenomics
      by seqadmin


      At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...

      How RNA-Seq is Transforming Cancer Studies
      by seqadmin



      Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...
