plugin error for phylogeny

Hi, I run same command on different file did not give error but now showing error: Is there any issue with input file?

Hello Liz,

Welcome to the forums! :qiime2:

(I removed your other post, as posting in a new thread is perfect because it makes tracking this question easier for us. Also you got the code formatted in this post, which is very nice!)

It looks like the Qiime plugin is working... but mafft itself is having an issue. Can you rerun this command and add the --verbose flag to get more detail about the error?

Colin

Hi colin,

I ran the command again and got this. Don’t know where the problem is. Something wrong with my input file? I ran this command with another input file and it worked fine.

Thank you for your help.

Liz

Good morning Liz,

I think I found the error:

It was in the middle of the line with all the \00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\0 in it.

This error has been reported before, and it looks like mafft gets killed once it runs out of memory.

How many reads are you trying to align with mafft? How much memory do you have?

Colin

Morning Colin,

I run qiime2 on the virtual machine, and the size of the rep-seqs.qza is about 38M.The memory size I set is 4096M. Is that enough?

I ran the same command with a smaller input file about 30k,and it worked well.If the memory is not enough,should I reset it?And how much should I set?

Thanks again,
Liz

Hello Liz,

Thanks for telling me more!

That sounds like a lot of features! How many total seqs / features are in that file?

How much memory do you have on the host machine? Is there any chance you can increase that beyond 4 GB?

How did you make that rep-seqs file? Are these ASVs from dada2 or OTUs from vsearch?

Colin

Hi Colin,

I got my rep-seqs file from vsearch. I reset the memory of the virtual machine to 6G,and changed another method to cluster OTUs to get a much smaller input file.Now it works well.

Thank you for your kind help.

Liz
