Sabre demultiplexer

Question

[mropri]

I am running sabre to try to demultiplex my rna-seq data. I run the command:

sabre pe -f round05_rep1_R1.fastq.gz -r round05_rep1_R2.fastq.gz -b drs_round05_rep1_sabre.tsv -u unknown_bar1.fastq -w unknown_bar2.fastq

However, I get a segmentation error with a core dump. My barcode file has 3 columns, the well number, the read sequence, and the barcode. I do not understand why I am getting this error. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I am having the same error with an 81gb file. I am working on a ubuntu server. What did you mean by upping the memory? I was originally using a different server and switched to one with 1 terabyte of memory and I am still getting the message segmentation Fault (core dumped). Any help would be much appreciated!!

Random access memory (RAM) is not the same thing as storage. If you actually have a TB of RAM then demultiplexing a 81G file should not be a problem. Is this a standalone server? If others are using the server at the same time then you may still have a much smaller amount of RAM available to your job.

Are these particularly large sequence files? One problem may be simply running out of available memory.

its 122 GB, let me try upping the memory.

memory was the problem, it worked fine as I upped the memory. Thank you
