demux with 8nt barcode, not 12nt

Technical Support
1

QIIME1 split_libraries_fastq.py included the optional flag --barcode_type which allowed the user to denote barcodes length value other than 12nt. Is there any method to handle barcodes of a different length, e.g. 8nt for demux emp-paired?

I am currently running QIIME2.2020.8 at command line on several linux based systems.

Hello @A_Bennett!

Yes! Just disable the golay barcode correction when running qiime demux emp-paired:

--p-no-golay-error-correction
