Hi @Lu_Yang!

Do you mean you have paired-end sequences that you have joined outside of QIIME 2? If so, you will need to wait for QIIME 2 2017.11, which should be released later today (if everything goes according to plan!).

If this isn't the case, can you please provide some more details so that I understand your question? Thanks! 🦖
