Indexing large genome failed

Open xzhoubayer opened this issue 4 months ago • 2 comments

Indexing onion/garlic genome failed since the genome is 16Gb and two chromosomes are longer than 2.1 Gb. Does BWA has a limit for sequence length?

3. Does BWA work on reference sequences longer than 4GB in total? Yes. Since 0.6.x, all BWA algorithms work with a genome with total length over 4GB. However, individual chromosome should not be longer than 2GB.

Does it have limit for the length of each sequence/contig/chromosome?
