Hi Bastien, We are currently running assembly of a 4 mb genome using solexa paired end 100bp lenght & 200bp insert size & file size is 7.2 GB in fastq format. Below are the call parameters: /bin/bin/mira --project=b90a --fastq --job=denovo,genome,accurate,solexa -highlyrepetitive SOLEXA_SETTINGS -GE:tismin=100:tismax=300 The process is stuck at the below spet for a week now: Searching for possible overlaps: Localtime: Sat Jan 1 00:46:10 2011 Now running threaded and partitioned skimmer with 208 partitions in 2 threads: [0%] ....|.... [10%] ....|.... [20%] ....|.... [30%] ....|.... [40%] ....|.... [50%] ....|.... [60%] ....|.... [70%] ....|.... [80%] ....|.... [90%] ....|.... [100%] We checked the log folder and found that the size of the 2 files named b90a_int_posmatchc_preassembly & b90a_int_posmatchf_preassembly is constantly increasing. Now both files are 146 GB in size and mira is also using a swap of 36 gb. Should we let this run or stop the assembly?
