I have run Tophat fusion with paired-end RNA-Seq data, but my run was unsuccessful. The error says running 'long_spanning_reads'. I found a post in SEQanswers, but it did not help much.
Following is the executed command.
tophat -o $DIRECTORY$SAMPLENAME \
-p 16 \
--fusion-search \
--keep-fasta-order \
--bowtie1 \
--no-coverage-search \
--mate-inner-dist 130 \
--library-type fr-unstranded \
$BOWTIEINDEX $READ1 $READ2
Following is the log file from Tophat run.

Error running 'long_spanning_reads':Loading fusions...done
What could be the reason with this error ? I will greatly appreciate your help. Thanks !!
What is your configuration (RAM) ?
I have 12GB of RAM.
I think the problem is there. Did you check the state of your process with top ? tophat with fusion-search and 200M reads used more than 12Gb I guess. Check the memory with top.
Thanks a lot. It was truly memory issue. I splitted FASTQ files into two and executed tophat fusion. It worked without reporting any error. Please post above comment as answer :D
