Can Ion Torrent sequencing data be analyzed in QIIME2

Hi @Brandon,

Jumping in real quick to answer this particular question:

@Brandon

Can DADA2 or DEBLUR analyze Ion Torrent sequencing data? Can DEBLUR be safe in the analysis?

My current understanding is that Deblur hasn't been validated for Ion Torrent yet, and the current recommendation for DADA2 and Ion Torrent is to set your trim-left parameter to 15 (or more).

I honestly don't expect Deblur to have issues with that data, but you should probably make sure that what you see makes sense (by comparing it to DADA2 for example).
