Dear Mailing list, 
Please can someone help me fix a problem using a local version of BLAT? I want 
to align nucleotides to the human genome. 

I have this version:
blat - Standalone BLAT v. 34 fast sequence search command line tool

My workstation has a Core i 7 processor and 12Gb of ram. 

I indexed the genome doing:
faToTwoBit hg18.fa hg18.2bit

However, if I take a single sequence and align it with blat, this happens:

j...@john-desktop:~/data/genome$ blat -out=blast9 hg18.2bit test 
test_seq_blas9.out
Loaded 3107677273 letters in 49 sequences
needHugeMen: Out of huge memory - request size 957189248 bytes

If I am looking right, this amounts to 1Gb of memory but the machine has 12Gb. 

Is there a line of code in the source I can modify to get around this problem 
or am I missing something?

Thanks for any advice. 

ps. I saw other similar posts but they have work arounds and as I have a lot of 
data to analyse, it would be great to sort it out so it works. 

John.
