Memory issue while using coverage

[Sameerpython]

Hi,

I am using coverage to calculate the breadth of coverage of genes from a merged bam file. However, I encounter a memory issue. I would like to know if there is a way to get the memory down.

Thank you.

Can you give more details. e.g. how big are your -i and -g files? (how many lines)? How much memory do you have on the system?
