Dear Bastien, I have been using mira to perform an hybrid assembly with Sanger and 454 sequences, so far it has been working quite well! (Thank you!) But lately when I tried to add more 454 sequences to the assembly it crached diplaying a kernel panic out of memory error. I am using a server with 16Gb RAM, 8 Gb swap, and 1.5 Tb space. My goal is to assemble 56000 Sanger reads and 2600000 454 reads. The estimates that miramem gave are RAM estimates: reads+contigs (unavoidable): 7.3 GiB large tables (tunable): 1.0 GiB --------- total (peak): 8.4 GiB add if using -CL:pvlc (tunable): 5.6 GiB Should I ask for more space, or is there anything I could do to permorm the assembly? Thank you for your time!! Cynthia -- You have received this mail because you are subscribed to the mira_talk mailing list.
