Dada2 Error Code 9

Thank you very much! I have carefully examined the forward and reverse sequence files, which is exactly what you said. Thank you for your guidance! After I corrected and rerun, I encountered the following problems:

Running external command line application(s). This may print messages to stdout and/or stderr.

The command(s) being run are below. These commands cannot be manually re-run as they will depend on temporary files that no longer exist.

Plugin error from dada2:

See above for debug info.

Is this because of insufficient memory? I hope to get your guidance again. Thank you!

Thanks for posting your full error code.

As you have identified, you got a -9 error when running dada2.

It could be. I could also be that dada2 used up all the memory, and then another process or user canceled / terminated / 'killed' the dada2 job. (The -9 error means that the process was 'killed' or canceled by something on the linux system.)

It sounds like you are already thinking about memory usage, and if you have enough RAM.

How long was this job running? Is there something in your HPC queue that limites jobs to a maximum run time?
