Splitting datasets for processing

[thermokarst]

Hi @Jenna_Shelton!

@Jenna_Shelton

this would likely fix any memory problems I am having, but would there be any processing consequences?

Please take a peek at this thread! Long story short, if you are using DADA2, splitting your samples up can cause issues with the DADA2 error model, and, from what I understand, doesn't really help out with reducing the necessary computational resources (memory, CPU, etc.).

Thanks!
