Hello everyone!
I have a question regarding data analysis. Can I analyze data from sequencing 120 samples of 16S sequencing. I don't know yet how big the file is. I was wondering if it is possible.
Hello Laila,
I think the biggest limitation is your RAM / memory. Some of the initial steps like denoising can take more memory, so finding a machine with 16 GB (or more) could be helpful. Most of the downstream plugins for visualization and stat tests should work just fine with 8 GB.
You could also take a look at this post by Justine outline some great resources that could help you process data with the machine you have.
