FASTQ importing

[stuartastbury]

Hi all,
I had some help previously on getting an already QCd/primer/barcode trimmed fasta file into QIIME2, this worked well and we're working away happily on this. In the meantime I was able to get the FASTQ from the folks who originally carried out our sequencing. These again don't seem to be raw reads, but have come as a single adapter trimmed fastq with (I presume) R1 and R2 reads joined:

So I seem to have sample ID, followed by an underscore and some information I do not understand , so my question is will this file be appropriate for use with the "fastq manifest" import? Even though a) everything is in a single file and b) the read IDs contain this extra information.

Thanks for your help!!

If I am understanding you correctly, you have two FASTQ files (one fwd, one rev), that are multiplexed, where the barcodes have been removed, and the sample ID is in the header? If so, unfortunately, we don't have a tool for that in QIIME 2. If you can find a way to demultiplex these reads, then you can import into QIIME 2 using the manifest format. Sorry! :qiime2:
