Hi Bastien, currently we are trying to assemble the genome of a pathogenic plant fungus (est. genome size 50 Mbp) and despite 64 GB RAM available mira (version 2.9.43-45) still runs out of memory. Our input consists of ~ 2,7 mio 454 titanium reads and 7900 paired fosmidends generated by Sanger technology. Mira crashes already during pass 1 (when writing the repeat_resolve files). Our parameters: -job=denovo,genome,accurate,454,sanger -GE:pro=Rhsecalis -SK:not=4:bph=16:hss=8:mhpr=100:pr=80 -AL:mrs=80:ms=50:mo=80 -CO:np=Rhsecalis -ED:ace=1 -LR:fo=0 SANGER_SETTINGS -LR:mxti=0 -GE:uti=1:tismin=27000:tismax=45000 To us it seems that the crash happens at the graph phase so maybe we have to much spurious overlaps. Could they somehow be reduced ? Should we adjust the parameters ? Furthermore we have access to a 64bit Itanium cluster with 146 GB RAM (os: linux). Is there a possibility to provide a fitting binary so that we can use mira on this cluster ?
