Error while visualization

Hi QIIME people,
I’m getting an error when I run the following script, does anyone know why?

Script:

qiime demux summarize
–i-data /scratch/amm59063/workdir/bird_feeding/samples/1_import/demux-r2.qza
–o-visualization /scratch/amm59063/workdir/bird_feeding/samples/1_import/demux-r2_summary.qzv

Error:

Plugin error from demux:

‘forward’

Debug info has been saved to /lscratch/2970801.sapelo2/qiime2-q2cli-err-z85wsfun.log

Thank you

Hi @amm59063!

What version of QIIME 2 are you running?

Please re-run with the --verbose flag, and provide the complete output here. Thank you!

Hi Matthew,
here is the output, this happening when I use the remote access only (QIIME2 : 2020.6)

KeyError: 'forward'

Plugin error from demux:

  'forward'

See above for debug info.

Can you share a download link to the data? Feel free to send me a private message if you can’t share publicly. Thanks!

Has this issue been resolved? We sucessfully imported demultiplexed Fastq files in QIIME2-2020.6. We are getting the same error as described above on this step:
qiime demux summarize
–I-data demuxsingle.qza
–o-visualization demuxsingle.qzv

Error:

Plugin error from demux:

‘forward’

We do not think it is the fastq files as they have worked before.

Hi @GuyAdami - as you can see, @amm59063 never responded to our inquiries. If you would like assistance, please see this request:

We actually fixed several issues related to bad fastq files erroneously working in this visualization in the 2020.6 release, so I would reserve judgement until we take a closer look at the data. Thanks!

Hi @thermokarst, here is the link to the fastq files we are having trouble with: [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1FMN83XeO7VxI6WxT6uzcXmw7Z6A6rGrb?usp=sharing]

Hi Matthew,
I’m sorry I was busy with the other works, I didn’t reply because I got the error message when I run in remote computer but not with my own PC.
Okay I’ll explain little bit. I imported my paired end fastq file sas below (for forward and reverse separately)
qiime tools import
–type ‘SampleData[SequencesWithQuality]’
–input-path /scratch/amm59063/workdir/bird_feeding/samples/fastq/r2/
–input-format CasavaOneEightSingleLanePerSampleDirFmt
–output-path /scratch/amm59063/workdir/bird_feeding/samples/1_import/demux-r2.qza

I didn’t get any error when I visualize the forward imported artifact.

Also @GuyAdami is trying to import the reverse sequence and had the problem.

I’m attaching the imported artifacts for both sequence

Thanks for the data @GuyAdami!

The issue here is that all of your reads are reverse reads. If you import using one of the manifest formats you can specify the direction as “forward”, which should get you moving again.

Hi @amm59063, no need to apologize. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to download your files - they are password protected. It looks like you’re in a similar situation as @GuyAdami - use a manifest format to declare these as “forward” reads and you should be set.

Matthew, thanks for your help. When we loaded the forward reads it worked great. We are not sure how to get it to work with the reverse reads, as the manifest file is generated by the import step.
qiime tools import
–type ‘SampleData[SequencesWithQuality]’
–input-path casava-18-single-end-demultiplexed
–input-format CasavaOneEightSingleLanePerSampleDirFmt
–output-path demux-single-end.qza
Are you saying we need to change labels of the fastq files so it says R1 even though they are reverse reads? If that makes no sense don;t worry we are happy to at least know how to run forward reads. thanks again, Guy

No, I was suggesting you use a manifest format: Importing data — QIIME 2 2020.6.0 documentation. QIIME 2 can't make these for you - you have to define it yourself. You can say which files belong to which samples, and what orientation those files are in.

Why aren't you just importing both the forward and reverse reads at the same time?
