SVPreprocess MergeInsertSizeHistograms error
Art
South San FranciscoMember ✭
Hi,
I'm getting an OutOfMemoryError heap space error running SVPreprocess on 50 BAMs (see attached log file). The error occurs with MergeInsertSizeHistograms, which, if I understand the following forum discussion correctly, shouldn't even run if I use reduceInsertSizeDistributions:
Up-adjusting memory doesn't solve the problem. I'm using v 2.00.1592, and the installtest runs fine. I've pasted my settings below.
I'd be very grateful for any advice on how to fix this.
Thank you for your help,
Art

Hi Art,
In the post you make a reference to there is a correction saying that now one needs to specify both reduceInsertSizeDistributions true and -bamFilesAreDisjoint true to skip this step.
So if all your bam files contain separate libraries add -bamFilesAreDisjoint true to your script.
And you might want to download and use Genome STRiP Release 2.00.1599, and drop the argument “-useMultiStep"

Hi Seva, I just ran SVPreprocess with the parameters you suggested and it worked perfectly. Thank you!
Hi Art,
Great, I am glad it worked!
