Dist.seqs failed, is there a way to predict the size of the .dist file?

After running dist.seqs for over 3 days it finally failed, this was half expected as I don’t have too much space on my hard drive but I wanted to know if there is a way to predict the size of the .dist file for future reference and to avoid running the command pointlessly. Or am I better of just sticking to cluster.split? If so does this also require much space?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Sorry you’re running into problems. cluster.split is probably your best bet.

Regardless, it looks like you have a lot of unique sequences. Are you sequencing the V4 region with 2x250 nt reads? If not, you’ll want to consult this…
