Hi, I am using qrqc to plot base quality of a short read fastq file. When the FASTQ file has short reads of the same length, the readSeqFile could read in the FASTQ file (25 millions of 100bp reads) with a couple of GB of memory. I trimmed 3' end of the short reads, which would lead to short reads of variable length because of different base quality at the 3' end. Then, I tried to read in this second FASTQ file of reads of variable length. It used up all of the 16 GB memory, and not using CPUs at all. It seems there are some efficient code in readSeqFile as mentioned in the readSeqFile help message. It seems to fall apart when short reads are of different size. I wish to see how the trimming change the base-quality plots, and this is a problem. I am wondering if there is a way of sidestepping this problem. Thank you, SangChul

Hi SangChul, By default readSeqFile hashes a proportion of the reads to check against many being non-unique. Specify hash=FALSE to turn this off and your memory usage will decrease.

I have tried to tunn off the option when reading sequences of variable lengths in a gzipped FASTQ file (2GB) using readSeqFile. The computer has 16 GB memory, and it used up all of the memory, leaving R in "Dead" or not running any more. Is there a way of sidestepping this problem?

Hi SangChul, Can you attach your sessionInfo()?

Hi SangChul, I forgot to mention that you'll also need to turn k-mer hashing off too (kmer=FALSE) if you're working with a machine with limited memory. Can you let me know if this solves your issue? I will likely change these defaults in the next version so as to not accidentally lead to an overuse of memory. best, Vince On Wed, Jun 6, 2012 at 11:14 AM, Sang Chul Choi <schoi@cornell.edu> wrote: > Thank you for offering help.

Dear Vince, Have you thought about supporting ShortReadQ objects from ShortRead in your package. This way users could random sample reads from large fastq files with FastqSampler() which would reduce the memory requirements and speed things up to generate the really nice and useful quality plots of your package. Right this seems to be only possible by saving things back to files (random sample with ShortRead -> save to file -> reload with qrqc) which is not ideal, but perhaps there is a simpler solution to this already that I missed?

When the FASTQ file has short reads of the same length, the readSeqFile could read in the FASTQ file (25 millions of 100bp reads) with a couple of GB of memory. I trimmed 3' end of the short reads, which would lead to short reads of variable length because of different base quality at the 3' end. Then, I tried to read in this second FASTQ file of reads of variable length. It used up all of the 16 GB memory, and not using CPUs at all. It seems there are some efficient code in readSeqFile as mentioned in the readSeqFile help message. It seems to fall apart when short reads are of different size. > > > > I wish to see how the trimming change the base-quality plots, and this is a problem.
