Hi @jessicalmetcalf! You can use the new q2-vsearch
method dereplicate-sequences
to convert your seqs.fna
file to a FeatureTable[Frequency]
and FeatureData[Sequence]
! Check out @gregcaporaso’s draft community tutorial on q2-vsearch
, in particular, the section titled “Dereplicating a SampleData[Sequences] artifact.”
Once you have those two new artifacts, you could either perform OTU clustering (see the rest of that draft tutorial), or continue on with generating summaries.
Hope that helps!
