Reply To: running multiple instances of rosetta

[Anonymous]

Hi Mathew,

You’ll want to give each instance of rosetta a different random seed.

To do this, you’ll use two flags in your command line: -constant_seed and -jran

The integer that follows the -jran flag should be between 1 million and 4 million.

Best,
Andrew
