Hisat2 exited with value 137

Question

[linjc.xmu]

Dear all, I have some rat fastq PE data. When I used hisat2 with --very-sensitive option for alignment, it exited with value 137. I understand that is a memory issue. Does anyone know how to bypass this. I should use '--very-sensitive' parameter. Thanks a lot.

Get more memory or use a machine with more memory, sorry to be blunt, but that's what it is. You cannot magically create more memory unless you run on a cluster and the reason was that you did not allocate enough memory via the scheduler.
