Return code 1 running DADA2 with single-end PGM/Ion torrent data

Technical Support
#1

Hello,
Ihave an error (return code 1) running DADA2 (qiime2 2019.1) with this:

qiime dada2 denoise-single \

–i-demultiplexed-seqs demux.qza
–p-n-threads 0
–p-trim-left 15
–p-trunc-len 291
–o-representative-sequences rep-seqs-dada2.qza
–o-table table-dada2.qza
–o-denoising-stats stats-dada2.qza
Plugin error from dada2:

An error was encountered while running DADA2 in R (return code 1), please inspect stdout and stderr to learn more.

Debug info has been saved to /media/sf_qiime2/temp/qiime2-q2cli-err-5y3wmcox.log

As can you see I changed the tmp folder to other (/media/sf_qiime2/temp/) as is suggested in the discussion An error was encountered while running DADA2 in R (return code 1), but the error still persists.

The log file contains the following information:

Filtering Error in filterAndTrim was encountered while running DADA2 in R (return code 1),
#2

Have you tried denoise-pyro? That command is pre-configured for pyrosequencing runs, and I think PGM/IT falls under that.

#3

Hi thermokarst,
I tried and it gives the same error

qiime dada2 denoise-pyro \

–i-demultiplexed-seqs demux.qza
–p-trim-left 15
–p-trunc-len 250
–o-table table.qza

#4

Can you please run qiime tools validate demux.qza?

#5

I encountered exactly the same problem.

my code is as follows:

=========================================
source activate qiime2-2019.1

export TMPDIR=/mnt/lustre/user/xxx/tmpStool;
export HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING=FALSE;
export LANG=en_GB.utf8
echo -n "Start: ";date
qiime tools import
–type ‘SampleData[SequencesWithQuality]’
–input-path manifest.csv
–output-path single-end-demux.qza
–input-format SingleEndFastqManifestPhred33

echo -n "start dada2 denoise-single: ";date
qiime dada2 denoise-single

–o-table table-dada2.qza
–o-denoising-stats stats-dada2.qza

=========================================

and the error appeared:

and then, I check my input file: single-end-demux.qza

$ qiime tools validate single-end-demux.qza
Result single-end-demux.qza appears to be valid at level=max.

Then, what’s the problem ?

#6

Wow, that is a lot of threads!

Looks like you are running out of space, likely in your $TMPDIR. You will want to change that env var to another location with more disk space available (I suggest contacting your sys admin for guidance).

Plugin error from dada2: An error was encountered while running DADA2 in R (return code 1), please inspect stdout and stderr to learn more. See above for debug info.
#7

yes, maybe that’s the reason. when I set the TMPDIR = XXX, the XXX directory didn’t exists. So I need to mkdir XXX at first.

however, I don’t think -p-n-threads 60 caused the problem.

An error occured while running DADA2 in R
#8

Yep!

Me either, I was just remarking on the magnitude of that hardware!
