while importing the data
Hello Mam
Hope you are fine and doing good
Since I am running the command qiime tools import \ --input-path qiime2-importing-tutorial/ combined\_seqs.fna \ --output-path combined\_seqs.qza --type ' Demultiplexed Sequences'.
However I am facing command error
One thing important to mention here, I have a combined\_seqs.fna file (creating in qiime 1 using add\_qiime\_labels.py). I am trying to import that file.
Please help out
