  • tophat job killed by run time limit

    I got my tophat running, and then it was killed after a few minutes.


    My output file said the job was killed after reaching LSF run time limit.
    Exited with exit code 140.


    This is the error file:
    [2014-09-12 16:32:42] Beginning TopHat run (v2.0.12)

    Warning: short reads (<20bp) will make TopHat quite slow and take large amount of memory because they are likely to be mapped in too many places

    I appreciate any insights you can give!

    You need to request more time from the scheduler. Tophat takes hours to run, so try requesting a day to be safe.

      You could also switch to something faster, such as BBMap or Star. A few minutes would probably still be way too short, depending on the input size.

        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...
