Combining Datasets with 2 sets of Primers

Hello Julie,

The dada2 developers recommend running dada2 on each run separately then combining the results, which is a perfect fit for your data set. Even better, the dada2 denoise-paired command comes with two --p-trim-left commands for trimming off the start of your 341 read so it starts around 515!

Take a look at that command and let me know if it looks like a good fit for your data.

Analyzing a consistent region is important and I’m glad your post will raise awareness of this for future users. :100:
