    Hi Jack Prazich,

    To help with runtime or memory usage, try the following:

    1. Check memory/disk space availability on your end.

    2. Specify java memory usage using java option -Xmx.

    3. Specify a --tmp-dir that has room for all necessary temporary files.

    4. Verify this issue persists with the latest version of GATK.

    5. Check the depth of coverage of your sample at the area of interest.

    You have to specify the heap size whenever you run your program. If you are executing on the command line, whenever you execute using "java " include a parameter: "-Xmx4g -Xmx4g" or whatever you want your heap size to be. The flag Xmx specifies the maximum memory allocation pool for a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), while Xms specifies the initial memory allocation pool. The Xms flag has no default value, and Xmx typically has a default value of 256 MB. A common use for these flags is when you encounter a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. If you are dealing with large data sets, then its always better to initialise your Java Collections (ex. Java Arraylist) with the correct size.

    Hello Genevieve Brandt (she/her) and marktoddy, thank you for the comments and help. I'm still having trouble with this unfortunately. I'm running the program in a folder with 180 GB of free space so I don't think its a disk space problem. Last time that I ran it and in my original post, I specified a heap size of 75GB, "-Xmx75g", is that the correct syntax? Should I lower it to 4GB? I'm running this on the most recent version of GATK.

     

    In this next attempt I will specify a temporary directory. But I was wondering if my memory error may be due to me using Conda to keep my gatk packages updated and installed and so I'm running this command while in that gatk conda environment? https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/360035889851--How-to-Install-and-use-Conda-for-GATK4

    Ok interesting. As a way to test the gatk conda installation, it says to do conda list and my environment correctly showed gatkpythonpackages as one of the packages installed so I thought it was fine earlier. But when I do 'which gatkpythonpackages' I get this:

    (gatk) [jp57634@genome src]$ which gatkpythonpackages
    /usr/bin/which: no gatkpythonpackages in (/work/jjlab/jp57634/miniconda3/envs/gatk/bin:/work/jjlab/jp57634/miniconda3/condabin:/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/jp57634/Tools/samtools/bin:/home/jp57634/Tools/bwa-0.7.17:/home/jp57634/Tools/groovy-2.4.7/bin:/work/jjlab/jp57634/tools/seqtk:/users/aas4579/tools/FastQC:/home/jp57634/bin)

    Yeah, it looks like there might be a problem with the installation, but that doesn't look like what would cause the out of memory errors. I would definitely try the tmp directory to make sure that isn't causing the issue.

    So I tried to specify a tmp directory and I got the same out of memory error after four hours and my temporary directory is empty. Did I specify the temporary directory correctly? Here is my command:

    bash ../src/Mutect_run.sh "$patient"_exT_rmdup.bam "$patient"_exH_rmdup.bam "$patient" "-Xmx75g" --active-probability-threshold .0015 --tmp-dir /scratch/jp57634/UTMPi5039/tmpdir >log4 2>&1 &

    Jack Prazich Could you share your Mutect2 command line? I don't know what is contained in the bash script.

    Hi Genevieve Brandt (she/her), thank you so much for your patience with this. Yeah so I tried to simplify it by pulling the Mutect part out of my master run script and running it separately. 

    Bash command: 

    bash Mutect_run.sh UTMPi5039testpatient_exT_rmdup.bam UTMPi5039testpatient_exH_rmdup.bam "-Xmx75g" --active-probability-threshold .0015 --tmp-dir /scratch/jp57634/UTMPi5039/tmpdir >Contamlog2 2>&1

    Mutect_run.sh script:

    #Estimate contamination of bam files
    $gatk GetPileupSummaries -I $1 -V /home/jp57634/References/Mutect/somatic-hg38_af-only-gnomad.hg38.vcf -L /home/jp57634/References/Mutect/somatic-hg38_af-only-gnomad.hg38.vcf -O tumorgetpileupsummaries.table
    $gatk GetPileupSummaries -I $2 -V /home/jp57634/References/Mutect/somatic-hg38_af-only-gnomad.hg38.vcf -L /home/jp57634/References/Mutect/somatic-hg38_af-only-gnomad.hg38.vcf -O healthygetpileupsummaries.table

    It just stopped running after an hour? Without an out of memory error? And no output files? So weird. I'm running it again now.

     

    But here's the thing. I decided to take all references to contamination tables and ran FilterMutectCalls on my Mutect2 output and it ran fine and it ran really quickly. How important is it to include the contamination tables in FilterMutectCalls?

     

    A couple other questions:

    Do I need to put --java-options before I specify -Xmx for it to work correctly?

    I noticed in the GetPileupSummaries manual page that typically the variant and intervals file, -V and -L, are zipped files, file.vcf.gz. I have been using just .vcf files. Would that lead to my memory problem? I tried zipping my file into a .vcf.gz and got this error:

    A USER ERROR has occurred: An index is required but was not found for file /home/jp57634/References/Mutect/somatic-hg38_af-only-gnomad.hg38.vcf.gz. Support for unindexed block-compressed files has been temporarily disabled. Try running IndexFeatureFile on the input.

    Okay, I'm going to try to address all your main points:

    • Did Mutect2 finish once you ran it separately from GetPileupSummaries?
    • Could you share the GetPileupSummaries stack trace? If there are no output files there will be something in the stack trace to figure out what went wrong.
    • The contamination tables are pretty important so let's see if we can get it to work!
    • Here is an article on gatk command line syntax: https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/360035531892-GATK4-command-line-syntax
    • Zipped files might help your memory problem. Create an index for somatic-hg38_af-only-gnomad.hg38.vcf.gz with IndexFeatureFile and it should run just fine!

    1) Yes, Mutect2 ran fine and gave me mutect_vars.bai mutect_vars.bam mutect_vars.vcf.gz mutect_vars.vcf.gz.stats mutect_vars.vcf.gz.tbi output files.

     

    2) GetPileupSummaries stack trace when I call Mutect_run.sh from master file:

    Thank you!

    • Could you share your GetPileupSummaries gatk command line? I can't see what is going on in your bash scripts.
    • If the command ends unexpectedly, your machine could be shutting it down for taking too much memory.
    • It looks like there was an issue when you zipped the somatic-hg38_af-only-gnomad.hg38.vcf file and it became malformed. You can try zipping it again.

    My bad.

    Command line:

    bash Mutect_run.sh UTMPi5039testpatient_exT_rmdup.bam UTMPi5039testpatient_exH_rmdup.bam --java-options "-Xmx75g" --active-probability-threshold .0015 --tmp-dir /scratch/jp57634/UTMPi5039/tmpdir 2>&1 &

     

    Mutect_run.sh script: 

    gatk=/home/jp57634/Tools/gatk-4.2.0.0/gatk

    source /work/jjlab/jp57634/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh

    conda activate gatk

    $gatk GetPileupSummaries -I $1 -V /home/jp57634/References/Mutect/somatic-hg38_af-only-gnomad.hg38.vcf -L /home/jp57634/References/Mutect/somatic-hg38_af-only-gnomad.hg38.vcf -O tumorgetpileupsummaries.table

    conda deactivate

     

    Ok I will try zipping it again and retry.

    Try using the Xmx options for your GetPileupSummaries command and specify a temporary directory in the command itself.

    Ok so I've put -Xmx in the GetPileupSummaries command while keeping the --tmp-dir in the command line and tried to also reduce memory by working with the zipped .vcf file and using IndexFeatureFile as you suggested. The IndexFeatureFile has an output .vcf.gz.tbi file which I reference in the GetPileupSummaries command and is leading to an error.

     

    Command line:

    bash Mutect_run.sh UTMPi5039testpatient_exT_rmdup.bam UTMPi5039testpatient_exH_rmdup.bam --tmp-dir /scratch/jp57634/UTMPi5039/tmpdir >Contamlog5 2>&1 &

     

    Mutect_run.sh script:

    $gatk IndexFeatureFile -I /home/jp57634/References/Mutect/somatic-hg38_af-only-gnomad.hg38.vcf.gz --java-options '-DGATK_STACKTRACE_ON_USER_EXCEPTION=true'
    $gatk GetPileupSummaries -I $1 -V /home/jp57634/References/Mutect/somatic-hg38_af-only-gnomad.hg38.vcf.gz.tbi -L /home/jp57634/References/Mutect/somatic-hg38_af-only-gnomad.hg38.vcf.gz.tbi -O tumorgetpileupsummaries.table --java-options "-Xmx75g"

     

    Error:

    Jack Prazich the .tbi index file should not be specified in the command, it just needs to exist in the same directory as the vcf file. For your -V and -L inputs, those should be the .vcf.gz files. Your error message is occurring because the tool is looking for a VCF file and it is not in that format.

    Jack Prazich These still look like memory issues.

    I noticed that your GetPileupSummaries commands are not following the gatk command line syntax. The java options should follow the gatk wrapper script. You also do not have a temporary directory in that command. I really think you need to include a temporary directory in the specific GetPileupSummaries command.

    Here is the command line syntax article with examples: https://gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/en-us/articles/360035531892-GATK4-command-line-syntax

    Ahh I see when you said "command itself" you meant the gatk command. I thought you meant the command line.

     

    So I changed my command to put the tmpdir in the Mutect run file and changed the --java-options to the front to match the command line syntax article you sent: 

    Command line:

    bash Mutect_run.sh UTMPi5039testpatient_exT_rmdup.bam UTMPi5039testpatient_exH_rmdup.bam >Contamlog5 2>&1 &

    Mutect_run.sh:

    Jack Prazich I see! Glad there is more clarity now. 

    I noticed earlier you specified 75g for the xmx java option but here you are only specifying 5g. Did you try it both ways yet?

    Genevieve Brandt (she/her) Yeah I tried it with 75 GB. It ran for 12 hours and hit the same memory error. It output six .config files to the tmpdir this time instead of three.

     

    Mutect_run.sh Command: 

    $gatk GetPileupSummaries --java-options "-Xmx75g" -I $1 -V /home/jp57634/References/Mutect/somatic-hg38_af-only-gnomad.hg38.vcf.gz -L /home/jp57634/References/Mutect/somatic-hg38_af-only-gnomad.hg38.vcf.gz -O tumorgetpileupsummaries.table --tmp-dir /scratch/jp57634/UTMPi5039/tmpdir2

     

    I'm out of ideas basically..

    Most likely this tool is taking a long time because you are using an intervals file with many variants which is slow for GATK to process. Since you have exhausted all other options, I would recommend splitting the intervals file and scattering the jobs. You can split the intervals file in many different ways but one option would be by chromosome. After running multiple instances of GetPileupSummaries, you can gather the output tables with the GATK tool GatherPileupSummaries and proceed to your next step.

    Hi, I recently ran into the same out of memory/GC overhead error. For me, it turned out the issue was that the gnomad vcf file I provided was way too big. After filtering the vcf to keep only the variants with AF>0.01 (i.e. corresponding to the default --minimum-population-allele-frequency of GetPileupSummaries, so the discarded variants won't be used by default anyway), I ended up with a vcf.gz file that is about 150M, and then everything worked without any issue. Hope this may help.

    Hi Kenneth and Genevieve Brandt (she/her), that sounds promising. Would you mind sharing how you filtered? I was going to use awk and the column, but I see that both the AC and AF value are in that column. Now I'm trying to use python but running into problems with reading in the vcf.gz file

    Hello Genevieve Brandt (she/her), I feel like I'm very close to getting this. So my original gnomad vcf file was 17 GB and 3 GB when zipped. To filter on AF like Kenneth recommended I used gatk VariantFiltration:

     

    Command:

    #$gatk VariantFiltration -R /home/jp57634/References/BWA_Reference/GRCh38/GCA_000001405.15_GRCh38_full_analysis_set.fna -V /home/jp57634/References/Mutect/somatic-hg38_af-only-gnomad.hg38.vcf.gz -O filtsomatic-hg38_af-only-gnomad.hg38.vcf.gz --filter-expression "AF<0.01||AF>0.2" --filter-name "AF_out_of_range" &

     

    That changed the filter status of the majority of my variants. However, I couldn’t figure out how to filter only the “PASS” epitopes using VariantFiltration. I know there has to be an easier way.

     

    Anyway instead I unzipped the file and ran:

    sed '/#CHROM/q' filtsomatic-hg38_af-only-gnomad.hg38.vcf  > test.vcf #Pull off the header

    awk '$7 == "PASS" { print $0 }' filtsomatic-hg38_af-only-gnomad.hg38.vcf >> test.vcf #Pull all Pass epitopes and add them to the vcf file.

     

    That appeared to do the job and so I rezipped it and my new gnomad file with only “PASS” epitopes was 518 MB.

     

    I then ran GetPileupSummaries. It says GetPileupSummaries completes and I'm not getting a memory problem, but I'm getting a different error and no output table.

     

    Command:

    $gatk GetPileupSummaries --java-options "-Xmx10g" -I $1  -V /scratch/jp57634/UTMPi5039/Neoantigen_Pipeline_DNA/src/test.vcf.gz -L /scratch/jp57634/UTMPi5039/Neoantigen_Pipeline_DNA/src/test.vcf.gz -O tumorgetpileupsummaries.table --tmp-dir /scratch/jp57634/UTMPi5039/tmpdir2

    Jack Prazich, yes, VariantFiltration is great for what you are looking to do. To remove the variants that do not pass your filtering threshold from the file, you can use SelectVariants with --exclude-filtered set to true. 

    The error message you got from GetPileupSummaries is really strange, I have never seen it before. Could you try filtering your non-PASS variants with SelectVariants instead of sed and see of you still get the error message?

    Hi Jack Prazich, I obtained the original gnomad vcf file that someone else at my institution processed, which contains only AF in the INFO field. I used SelectVariants like below to obtain the smaller-sized vcf which I then used for GetPileupSummaries.

    java -Xmx8G -Djava.io.tmpdir=$JAVA_TEMP -jar $GATK SelectVariants -V gnomad.vcf \
    --select-type-to-include SNP \
    --restrict-alleles-to BIALLELIC \
    -select "AF > 0.01" \
    -O gnomad.subset.vcf.gz \
    --lenient
