I recognize this error from this post. You should be able to run ITSxpress using qiime itsxpress trim-pair
instead of qiime q2-itsxpress trim-pair
. If that is not the case, maybe there is some problem regarding how you installed ITSxpress. What was your procedure? Maybe solving this solves your original issue: something strange is going on if the proper command doesn't work.
The recommended installing method for ITSxpress, acording to the tutorial, is:
mamba activate qiime2-2024.2
mamba install -c bioconda itsxpress
qiime dev refresh-cache
qiime itsxpress # To check installation
Personally, what I do is directly open the YAML file of the QIIME 2 distribution I'm using, add the latest version¹ and install:
- itsxpress=2.1.3
Rember that, besides itsxpress
, we don't need more plugins for running ITSxpress on QIIME 2. ITSxpress is already both standalone and a Q2 plugin.
Best,
