Hi all,

I am experiencing a problem with the tool Pureclip on the Galaxy / CLIP-explorer server. The problem is that the tool has been running for 4-5 days now with the notice: Job currently running. Previously I have already restarted the job after 1 week of waiting with job currently running. I was wondering why it could take so long and what I can do to speed things up.  
I have uploaded .BAM files for the CLIP and input data and also a reference genome Hg19 in the Fasta format. Could someone please help me with this issue?

Hey. PureCLIP sometimes takes really long to train the peak calling model. Try to reduce the training on important chromosomes. There is a field where you can do that: **Genomic chromosomes to learn HMM parameters**. Reduce it maybe to three chromosomes.

So try this first and really pick chromosomes which are important for your study.

Narrowing the search field helped to complete the job faster. Thanks
