An unexpected error has occurred:

Name ‘EMPPariedEndSequences’ is not a defined QIIME type, a plugin may be needed to define it.

See above for debug info.

Any thoughts???

Hey @raw937,

I suspect this is kind of related to your other question (in that I don’t think this is the right format, but the error is worth it’s own topic).

NameError: name ‘EMPPariedEndSequences’ is not defined

There is a typo in the name: you have Paried instead of Paired.

But, I think given your other question, this is probably the wrong type. See you in the other thread!

[raw937]

Hmm. that was the problem. Thank you. rookie mistake. what are the types defined by qiime2?

[ebolyen (Evan Bolyen)]

You can use:

qiime tools import --show-importable-types

to get a full list.
