Hi Xin, yes, you can use the sequel data or any other which does not have quality values. The error you encounter indicates that you run out of memory. How large is the file containing sequencing data, the paf file, and how much RAM does your machine have?
Best regards, Robert
Hi Robert,
I requested 238GB of memory for the job. And the size of input file are as following: 143G LT2.merged.filt2k.fasta 5.6G LT2.2kfasta.gfa.paf 2.2G LT2.contigs.fasta
How big the memory you would recommend me to use? Is there a general rule on estimate the memory useage?
Best, Xin
The memory requirements are equal to the sum of the input data plus some overhead on encapsulating classes. It is odd that 238GB was not enough for your run. Are you sure your job got the requested amount? Try requesting 300GB or try running the same amount but run racon_wrapper
where the split size should be equal to your longest contig multiplied with ~1.1
.
Best regards, Robert
Nvm, I saw that you are using v1.3.1. :)
Thanks Robert. One more thought, what's the requirement of minimal local disk? In another word, how much disk the /tmp would have to be to successfully run the racon or racon_wrapper?
It will need two times the size of the target sequences (in this case the draft assembly which comes to around 4GB).
Hi there,
I have new pacbio long-reads assembled into a 2.2G genome. I want to use racon to do polishing. When I run racon1.3.1 using following command
racon -t 34 LT2.merged.filt2k.fasta LT2.2kfasta.gfa.paf LT2.contigs.fasta LT2.racon1.fasta
I get STDERR as
Regardless that I use fasta format for long-reads file and the 12 killed error, I realize that the new Pacbio reads don't have per base quality value. I have two questions: 1) is the new pacbio sequel reads still good to be used as input for racon polishing? 2) Anything I can do to avoid the "12 Killed" error? Your input is very valuable for us.
Best, Xin
