Hi,
I am attempting to use SSPACE version 3 to re-scaffold some mRNA contigs using paired-end RNA-Seq data. While SSPACe was designed for rescaffolding genomes, I see no reason why it should not work in similar fashion for re-scaffolding de novo assembled RNA contigs.
SSPACE is discussed in seqanswers here:
The SSPACE webpage can be reached from here:
I consistently get the following error message:
with:
It seems to me that SSPACE is running out of physical memory while trying to open the bwa output.
The "Thread 8 terminated abnormally" is especially cryptic, as the program was set to only run with 6 threads (-T 6).
My run parameters are:
The supporting library file is attached.
I previously tried to run SSPACE over multiple nodes, but it seemed to use the cores on only one of the nodes.
Does anyone know of a way to get SSPACE to run across multiple nodes? Can it be run with mpi multi-threading? If not, does anyone have any suggestions for reducing memory requirements?
