Hi @tlaw,

Currently, as far as I know, QIIME 2 does not support 454 data. If you want to use denoising algorithms I know you can use [DADA2](https://benjjneb.github.io/dada2/faq.html#can-i-use-dada2-with-my-454-or-ion-torrent-data) but not in QIIME2. Your best option would probably be to use a different tool to process your data, like DADA2 or QIIME1, and once you have a `biom` file you can [import this](https://docs.qiime2.org/2017.7/tutorials/importing/) to QIIME2.
