  • 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.

      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...
