Hi there,

You need to increase the amount of memory available to the Java Virtual
Machine. By default, it only has access to 64 Mb.

On the commandline, just add the following option -Xmx256M (replace 256
by how much memory you want to be available).

Dear all members,

The FASTA file of any one human chromosome is in general over 100Mbytes.
Therefore, 'OutOfMemoryException' happens when I handle that file with
Sequence interface. 

Is there any way to handle the big size of FASTA file? 

Sincerely,
AN, Hyeong-Jun
