demux command compatibility

[Taylorr (Taylor Rayne)]

Hello!

I am attempting to demultiplex my data with demux but I am unsure how to have this command read my files properly. My sequences are in .fastq format and my mapping file is just a .txt and looks like this:

Does anyone have advice on how to use demux to pair these files and demultiplex my data?

Thanks in advance!
Taylor

Hi @Taylorr,

Thanks for reaching out, apologies for the delay in response here!

I'd recommend checking out our User Docs to learn about how to import your data into QIIME 2 - this will walk you through how to import your data based on the format of your sequences. Once you've done that, you can take a look at the documentation on our demux commands and which one makes the most sense for your data.

Hope this helps! Cheers
