Feature Request: Easier Snakemake Resource Management. #654

Hello everyone! I'm so happy that DROP has continued to improve! I was doing some exploratory work in breast cancer using DROP, I am trying to see if a rarer subtype of breast cancer has different splicing/expression patterns. We have a lot of very large BAM files, and I found on a couple of occasions that the default resources allotted to a job were insufficient, and while some tools like AberrantExpression Counting scale in resources with the attempt value, others like the AberrantSplicing counting (01_1 and 01_3) have a hard-set resource value.

It would be really nice if 2 things

  1. The initial starting memory could be configured by the user. Or a section of the ReadTheDocs page talked about snakemake settings for memory allocation
  2. All computationally heavy modules had a resource allocation that scaled with memory failures/attempts.

Thanks again y'all, and hope everyone is doing well!
