Mugsy multiple alignment and core dumped

Hello,

I am trying to make a reference free multiple alignment of 8 fly genomes with mugsy. Mugsy was running for about a week and everything went well. It created the maf files based on each genome and finally it crashed by giving a core dumped.

I checked the memory and the upper limit that it used, and it was 50G. I had allocated 100G, so it wasn't a memory issue.

It crashed when it tried to construct the mugsywga.out file. Is there anyone who had a similar issue and somehow he solved it?

Also, is it possible to continue the job from the checkpoint that it stopped?

Thank you very much in advance,

Vasilis.

Sort of obvious but you did have write permissions at the location where the output was being written to and there was sufficient space available?

Yes that is possible. Mugsy is simply a perl wrapper around a bunch of other tools. If you have all the required files you can manually run the last commands again.

Thank you very much for your reply. It crashed when it was trying to run mugsyWGA. The last command that was trying to run was:

mugsyWGA --outfile ~/tse_tse_pseudo --seq ~/tse-tse/all/tse_tse_pseudo.all.fsa --aln ~/tse-tse/all/tse_tse_pseudo.xmfa --distance 1000 --minlength 30 --unique true > ~/tse-tse/all/tse_tse_pseudo.mugsywga.out 2> ~/tse-tse/all/tse_tse_pseudo.mugsywga.stderr

The tse_tse_pseudo.mugsywga.out was empty and the stderr at the end said that it was building an alignment graph from 36796296 matches.

So, if I run the previous command as it is, will it be ok?

Thank you very much for one more time.

I cannot promise anything. All I can say is that you do not have to rerun the pairwise nucmer comparison again. Good luck.

Thanks again for your reply. Unfortunately, it didn't work. For some reason that I cannot understand it fills only the mugsywga.stderr by saying that it builds the graph.

If you have any other suggestion fo whole genome multiple alignment I would really appreciate it.

Unfortunately 8 fly genomes is too much data for any other tool I know of. Sorry. ☹
