Plugin error from dada2, data generated by MiSeq with PE300

Hello,

I was running qiime dada2 denoise-paired (with 6 fastq files included, generated by MiSeq with PE300):

qiime dada2 denoise-paired
–i-demultiplexed-seqs demux.qza
–p-trunc-len-f 0
–p-trunc-len-r 0
–p-n-threads 0
–o-representative-sequences rep-seqs.qza
–o-table table.qza

After waiting about 1 hour, I got following error:

Plugin error from dada2:
An error was encountered while running DADA2 in R (return code -11), please inspect stdout and stderr to learn more.
Debug info has been saved to /tmp/qiime2-q2cli-err-yklupk7v.log

However, I didnt find any tmp forlder and log files generated.

My platform is MS OS with 16G memory.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Best,

HI @Xuefeng! Sorry to hear things aren't going well.

Sometimes these files get cleaned up by your operating system before you get a chance to grab it. You can also re-run with --verbose to view the same detailed log. Can you please re-run the above command with the --verbose flag so that we can get a copy of that detailed message? Thanks! :t_rex:

Hi Thermokarst,

Thanks for your reply. As you suggest, I got the following message:

qiime dada2 denoise-paired --i-demultiplexed-seqs demux-single.qza --p-trim-left-f 5 --p-trim-left-r 5 --p-trunc-len-f 250 --p-trunc-len-r 250 --p-n-threads 0 --o-representative-sequences rep-seqs --o-table table --verbose

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.

See above for debug info.

Hi @Xuefeng!

The error code -9 usually means you ran out of memory while DADA2 was working.

16 GB should be plenty of memory, but what do you mean your platform is "MS OS"? Are you running in VirtualBox? If so, you might want to look at increasing the amount of RAM (Memory) allocated to your virtual machine. If you are not using Virtualbox, please let me know what you are using! Thanks! :t_rex:

Hi Mathew,

I installed Qiime2 with Docker on a Mac OS 10.13.2.
49

I get it. If it was due to the memory, then I should increase the memory resource for the container to use in Docker. I will re-try it and let you know if it was that issue.

Cheers,
