Hello RAxML group,

I hope this finds everyone well. 

I am attempting to build a RAxML tree using ITS2 sequences that have been run via a DADA2 pipeline to identify ASVs. From reading online, I have understood that I need to convert my ASV file as a DNAbin file for RAxML. 

In doing so, I keep receiving the following error that I am unsure how to troubleshoot/resolve:

Error in `[.default`(x, 1, 1, drop = FALSE) : 

  incorrect number of dimensions

Calls: raxml -> write.phy -> ifelse -> [ -> [.DNAbin -> NextMethod

My R Script looks as follows: 

aln.bin = as.DNAbin(alignment)

alignment.rax.gtr <- raxml(aln.bin,

                           m="GTRGAMMA", # model

                           f="a", # best tree and bootstrap

                           p=1234, # random number seed

                           x=2345, # random seed for rapid bootstrapping

                           N=500, # number of bootstrap replicates

                           file="RAxML_alignment", # name of output files

                           exec="/cvmfs/soft.computecanada.ca/easybuild/software/2020/avx2/MPI/intel2020/openmpi4/raxml/8.2.12/bin", # name of executable

                           threads=20)

alignment.rax.gtr


detach("package:phangorn", unload=TRUE)


Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! 

- Victoria

This looks like an error from the script not from RAxML.
