Dear Mehrbod Estaki,

Thank you very much. They are samples of the same areas a couple times over a period of time, I just made the manifest file with appropriate sample labels delineating sampling periods and it seems to be working fine.

My next step is that I was going to follow [Analyzing paired end reads in QIIME 2](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/analyzing-paired-end-reads-in-qiime-2/2021) through the quality filtering step and then move on to de novo chimera checking and then OTU picking using the latest SILVA database (128). I also have to train the classifier correct? Would just use the following plugins? [uchime-denovo: De novo chimera filtering with vsearch. — QIIME 2 2017.12.0 documentation](https://docs.qiime2.org/2017.12/plugins/available/vsearch/uchime-denovo/)  
[Training feature classifiers with q2-feature-classifier — QIIME 2 2017.12.0 documentation](https://docs.qiime2.org/2017.12/tutorials/feature-classifier/)  
[cluster-features-de-novo: De novo clustering of features. — QIIME 2 2017.12.0 documentation](https://docs.qiime2.org/2017.12/plugins/available/vsearch/cluster-features-de-novo/)

Thank you for your time and help,

Sincerely,

David Bradshaw
