SORTMERNA error

Hello Flow team,

it happened to me twice now that I have an error in SORTMERNA module, when trying to remove rRNA from samples. In one execution it happened to multiple samples - the execution stopped. In the second one, there was a problem with only one sample - the execution is still marked with an error, but I do get all relevant files out of it. The multi qc report looks good so I was wondering can I use the files produced in such execution or would it be better to run it again, without rRNA removal? Is it possible that SORTMERNA “timed out” - it ran for a day.

Thank you,
Urska

Just FYI for anyone happening upon this, we were able to resolve this issue by upping the allocated resources to SORTMERNA :grinning:
