Description

"Samtools is a suite of programs for interacting with high-throughput sequencing data. SAMtools - Reading/writing/editing/indexing/viewing SAM/BAM/CRAM format" More details are at SAMtools

Running Program

The last version of this application is at /usr/local/apps/eb/SAMtools/1.3.1-foss-2016b-HTSlib-1.3.2

To use this version, please load the module with

ml SAMtools/1.3.1-foss-2016b-HTSlib-1.3.2 

Here is an example of a shell script, sub.sh, to run on the batch queue:

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=j_SAMtools
#SBATCH --partition=batch
#SBATCH --mail-type=ALL
#SBATCH --mail-user=username@uga.edu
#SBATCH --ntasks=1
#SBATCH --mem=10gb
#SBATCH --time=08:00:00
#SBATCH --output=SAMtools.%j.out

cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR
ml SAMtools/1.3.1-foss-2016b-HTSlib-1.3.2
samtools [options]

In the real submission script, at least all the above underlined values need to be reviewed or to be replaced by the proper values.

Please refer to Running_Jobs_on_the_teaching_cluster, Run X window Jobs and Run interactive Jobs for more details of running jobs at Teaching cluster.


Here is an example of job submission command:

sbatch ./sub.sh
