withName: PYDAMAGE_ANALYZE {
cpus = 32
memory = 256.GB

}
When I look at the .command.log in the work-directory I can see that it completed analyzing all of the sequences.
I am only putting in one ancient DNA sequencing file (22ds) that has about 18 million reads. I do not know what is causing it to get stuck on phydamage and would appreciate any advice on what I can do to fix this.Channel Helper - help
