Hi,
I have used PacBio sequencing to amplify whole 16S gene for my metagenomics project. I have obtained the FASQ files for this project. My question is that can I use QIIME2 as a pipeline to run this dataset? Or i need to use other pipeine.
Best,
RR

Good morning,
Yes, q2-dada now supports `denoise-ccs`. Check out the docs here:
[https://docs.qiime2.org/2022.2/plugins/available/dada2/denoise-ccs/](https://docs.qiime2.org/2022.2/plugins/available/dada2/denoise-ccs/)
Let us know if you have any questions about using this pipeline.
