filtering feature table based on representative sequences

[SoilRotifer (Mike Robeson)]

HI @anna-schrecengost,

The post linked below is a good example of how you can filter your feature-table based on your sequences. That is, your sequence file is the metadata file.

Rep-seqs length

Correct. You can follow the same approach used to remove chimeric sequences as outlined here. For example, if you want to keep the features in your feature table based on your sequence length criteria, you can just feed in your representative sequence file as a metadata file like so: qiime feature-table filter-features \ --i-table feature-table.qza \ --m-metadata-file sequences-to-retain.qza \ --o-filtered-table feature-table-retained.qza

You can also toggle the --p-exclude-ids / --p-no-exclude-ids option.
