De Novo Assembly Using 'A5' Pipeline

Hello,

I am assembling bacterial genomes (approx. 6Mb in size) using a variety of assemblers / protocols in an attempt to get optimum results. The raw data is 251bp paired-end Illumina MiSeq. There are 2,656,716 reads.

Having given Velvet and Abyss a go, I am trying to get the assembly pipeline A5 (Tritt et al (2012) PLoS ONE doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0042304) to work on my data, but am having some difficulties and was wondering if anyone else has had similar issues (or has got it working fine)...

The A5 pipeline involves numerous stages, but my problem occurs at the assembly stage (A5 uses the IDBA assembler), with the following error message:

[a5_s2] Building contigs from assembly_2.ec.fastq with IDBA
[a5_s2] Building contigs from assembly_2.ec.fastq with IDBA
[a5] idba -r assembly_2.s2/assembly_2.ec.fasta -o assembly_2.s2/assembly_2 --mink 29 --maxk 90

[a5] Error building contigs with IDBA

I googled the glibc detected: free(): invalid next size (fast) error and understand it is something to do with memory allocation, but this is where I reach the impasse of my understanding. I also read that setting the environment variable MALLOC_CHECK_=1 will not kill the process (I am trying this out now).

But does anyone have any ideas as to why this should be throwing this error? I'm running it on Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid), x86_64 GNU/Linux with 96 Gb RAM.

Any suggestions or experiences would be most welcome!

Thanks,
Reuben

Look like a bug. You should contact the developers unless you know C/C++ well enough to fix the problem by yourself.

Yes, I think it is. Actually the problem has been reported at https://code.google.com/p/ngopt/issues/detail?id=6#makechanges already - the issue seems to be the longer read length of MiSeq data...
