  • MosaikJump stalls and does not complete

    I am using Mosaik to align bacterial reads against a set of bacterial references sequences. I am having problems with hashing the references sequences with MosaikJump.

    When I run

    Code:
    MosaikJump -ia [*.dat file from MosaikBuild] -out [jump filename stub] -hs 15
    MosaikJump gets to 10% completion and then stalls. The stderr|stdout output showing progress stays at:

    10% [==> ] 0.0000 hashes/s ETA 0 s

    until my job finally runs out of walltime. The "jump" database does not get created. This command uses 10Gb of RAM while it is hashing, before it stalls.

    If I run MosaikJump with the -mem 8 option:

    Code:
    MosaikJump -ia [*.dat file from MosaikBuild] -out [jump filename stub] -mem 8 -hs 15
    MosaikJump gets to 41% completion and then stalls. With the -mem 8 option, this uses 16Gb of RAM while it is hashing, before it stalls.

    The reference sequence I am hashing consists of 2.6 Gbase of bacterial genomic sequences, 929 sequences in total.

    I am running mosaik v. 2.2.3, on Linux CentOS release 6.5

    Any one have any ideas as to what is going wrong?

    I found if I split up my reference set into several smaller sets, MosaikJump won't stall.

    But, instead, MosaikJump now crashes with a Segmentation fault. I allocated enough memory since it used 15 Gb of RAM, whereas I had allocated 24 Gb.

    At the time it crashes MosaikJump was doing the step "writing jump positions database:" and it crashes after completing 50%.

    Does anyone have any ideas how to get around this problem?

    Has anyone been able to get MosaikJump to work?

      I finally determined the problem after a lot of trial and error: MosaikJump writes a lot of stuff (29 Gb worth, indexing 2.6 Gbase of reference sequence) to /tmp. If /tmp doesn't have enough space, MosaikJump will stall, or die with a segmentation fault.

      The MOSAIK documentation (Mosaik 1.0 Documentation.pdf) says, "If the /tmp directory is too small... you can specify another directory by setting the MOSAIK_TMP environment variable. For example, ... in bash:"

      Code:
      export MOSAIK_TMP=/home/marth/tmp

        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...
