Qiime 2 does not support dual-index reads, according to the documentation. :cry:

But it does suggest another option!

So for the time being, this type of demultiplexing needs to be done outside of QIIME 2 using other tools, for example bcl2fastq.

Let me know if that works for you.

In order to continue with the topic in the forum.. Colin... you say... it is allowed to do the dual demultiplexing in QIIME 1 and then continue with QIIME 2 ????

Thanks!

Yes, yes you could!

After demultiplexing and quality filtering with Qiime 1, you will have a seqs.fna file with qiime labels. You can them import that seqs.fna file into a Qiime 2 seqs.qza artifact.

Let me know if this method works for you!
