  • Memory requirments for eXpress

    Does someone know how much memory eXpress usually consumes? (https://github.com/adarob/eXpress)

    I am using eXpress together with kma (https://github.com/pachterlab/kma)

    But I run out of memory after a few minutes when I a run:

    express -o 2monthsCTX/WT/WT1/xprs_out annotation/mm10_and_introns.fa \
    2monthsCTX/WT/WT1/mm10.bam

    my mm10_and_introns.fa has 3.6 gb
    and my mm10.bam file has 9.2 gb

    I have 42GB allocated RAM on my virtual Linux machine.
    Is it possible that this is not enough RAM for one sample, or is it more likely that something else is wrong?

    Many thanks for any help.

    Are you getting a message about running out of memory?

      Hi, yes kind off: the message is : killed
      I have a resource viewer (htop) open at the same time. It happens when I ran out of memory. No other message unfortunatly.

        Just checking that you did install 64-bit linux on the VM? Does the program get killed right away or after some time?

          Hi, yes 64bit Linux.

          It does not get killed straigth away, but after the the 42 GB ram are full, then it writes onto the swap for a second, then get killed.

            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...
