7 months ago Hi @chanhee22kim,
tldr; Yes, it's safe to ignore these warnings unless your sequencing data is VERY deep. This is to reduce memory requirements.
STRling is set to skip over tandem repeat regions supported by more than 65,535 reads (uint16.high.int). This prevents a memory blowout. Unless you are doing incredibly high-depth sequencing most of the genome should be well under this threshold, but we do expect to see some of these warnings in most samples. It is common for a number of regions to have very high depth, for example, seg dups, transposable elements, telomeres and centromeres. Typically, any variant call in an extremely high-depth region such as this is suspect. So STRling doesn't try to make a call in these regions, and it should be safe to skip over them for most applications.

Hello,
I run below command for joint calling which binds several bin file
cat ../AD_WGS_batch1-7_STRling.txt | xargs -L 2000 strling merge -f ../../resources/chm13v2.0.fa --output-prefix ~/WGS/AD_STR/outputs/joint_bin/ > ~/WGS/AD_STR/outputs/joint_bin/str_joint_log.txt 2>&1The command finished with logs below.
I'm asking if it is okay to continue the skipping warning, or should I check other options to solve this problem.
I used 1,824 samples with strling.
Thank you for providing a great tool.
Best regards, Chan
