Miniasm killed process

[vilperte]

Hello,

I'm trying to process my PacBio data, but I keep having problems with miniasm. I'm working on a computer with 24 cores and 120GB of RAM.

I first used both minimap and minimap2 to overlap my PacBio reads as below:

minimap -Sw5 -L100 -m0 reads.fq reads.fq | gzip -1 > reads.paf.gz

minimap2 -x ava-pb reads.fq reads.fq > ovlp.paf

Both outputs seemed to be right.

I tried running miniasm in two different ways, but both gave the same error message:

miniasm -Rc2 -f reads.fastq reads.paf.gz > assembly.gfa
[M::main] ===> Step 0: removing contained reads <===
[M::ma_hit_no_cont::55323.611*1.00] dropped 1611233 contained reads
[M::main] ===> Step 1: reading read mappings <===
Killed

miniasm -f reads.fastq reads.paf.gz > assembly.gfa
[M::main] ===> Step 1: reading read mappings <===
Killed

I've tried to track the RAM usage during miniasm and it seems that it peaks before crashing. So I'm guessing that's the problem.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix that?

Thanks for the help.
