How do I prevent my R kernel (Jupyter Notebook) from dying after running variance stabilizing transformation?

Hello!

I am following this vignette: http://master.bioconductor.org/packages/release/workflows/vignettes/rnaseqGene/inst/doc/rnaseqGene.html.

Everytime I run the below code to stabilize the variance: vsd <- vst(dds, blind = FALSE)

I receive this message:

"Kernel Restarting The kernel appears to have died. It will restart automatically"

Has anyone encountered this before and found a solution?

Thank you for your time!

David

No idea. This has never happened to me, and so I'd guess it's not a DESeq2 issue.

How many samples is dds? Do you have some very small memory available?

Samples = 9, transcripts = 246300.

I am not sure what constitutes small here. This is what I have: 16 GB | 2 memory slots, each of which accepts a 2400 MHz DDR4 memory module.

Is that too small?

Thanks again!

That's fine, I never know if people have 9 samples or 9,000.

I don't think this is a DESeq2 issue. I've never had such a problem using vst() in R.

I just tried the same code in R proper, straight from the console.

This was the output:

> vsd <- vst(dds, blind = FALSE)

*** caught segfault *** address 0x18, cause 'memory not mapped'

Possible actions: 1: abort (with core dump, if enabled) 2: normal R exit 3: exit R without saving workspace 4: exit R saving workspace Selection:

I think there’s an issue with your installation. Sorry I don’t have any idea because I’ve never seen this.

Can you check BiocManager::valid()?
