Hiii... Exonerate stopped automatically after some time and get the output "Killed" on the terminal. Input file size given was 454 mb and protein file has 1 mb. The command that i've used is given below. So what would be the reason behind this? Can anyone please help me out of this? Thank you in advance.....

exonerate -t exseq.fa -q prot.fa --model protein2genome --showtargetgff 
--verbose 5 > initial.seq.gff

454 Mb of sequences sounds like quite a lot, how many sequences is that?

[ashaneev07]

Hmm...it contains 6919 sequences. I was split the data into 4 (113 mb) but, that also shows the same error.

[ashaneev07]

Any guesses ? !!! .............

I would re-run it and monitor memory usage. Probably you ran out of memory. Maybe try with like 10 sequences to see if it is a general problem.
