Hi

I've been using Rsubread with a range of new and old FASTQ files and it has been working fine. The latest batch seems to be having some problems and for some of the files I get the following error after it crashes

Traceback:

 1: .C("R_align_wrapper", as.integer(n), as.character(cmd), PACKAGE = "Rsubread")

 2: align(index = "reference_index", minFragLength = 35, nthreads = 30,     readfile1 = "RS-02239140_N3_DMSO_GFP_R1.fastq.gz", output_file = "RWPE.GFP.DMSO.3.BAM")

I think i saw an earlier post about 10 months ago with a similar issue but couldn't see a resolution.

I'm using Rsubread_1.22.2

Anyone got any thoughts?

thanks

Your post shows a function call but doesn't show any error message. What error message did you get? What you mean by "it crashes"? 

AFAIK there are no unresolved issues with Rsubread unexpectedly stopping.

That was the error message and then it gives the options 1-4 for how to quit out of R. By crashes then i mean it doesn't do anything else. Maybe that's not the right word?

The output from traceback is not an error message, so you are keeping us completely in the dark as to what may have gone wrong for you.

Could you provide your commands and also the full screen output?

The samples divided and run on Hiseq2500 v3 chemistry, high output flowcell, 100SE. The FASTQ files were then catenated.

R version 3.3.0 (2016-05-03) -- "Supposedly Educational" being run on a computer cluster.

In Rsubread

I suspect the problem might be related to the concatenation of your fastq files. Can you try to run align() on one of the fastq files before you merge them?

Yes, that was our thought too, but the non-concatentated file also failed

Could you provide us one of your fastq files in question so we can take a close look? Which reference genome did you use in your mapping?

Thanks for sending through the data. But we could not reproduce the problem you encountered. Both fastq files were successfully aligned on a linux computer.

Have you checked if you have enough disk space? Could you also provide your session info?

We mapped to Hg19

What's the best way to share a fastq file with you?

Could you transfer the data via CloudStor which is fast and free to academic users?

send you a link to a google drive folder with two fastq files in it. One worked and one didn't. There's also a txt file of the readout from Rsubread for both files.

Hi - did you get the link to share the folder through google drive?

ok 

yes, we think it's something to do with disk space too! 

Ok, i'll get session info

So, to date, we've been doing as a fisbatch job and then tried modifying the memory allocation

fisbatch --nodes=1 --ntasks-per-node=16 --constraint=CPU-E5-2660

But still seem to be running into the same issue.  

I'm guessing fisbatch won't work always (because of memory allocation issue) and so it will have to  be a slurm job?

I think you'd better seek help from your system admin.

ok - thanks - yes it sounds like a system admin issue

But, one final question - which version of R were you using?

tx

R 3.3.0 - the same version as you use.
