parametric seven-number summaries base number from qiime2 view

[Rach (R. Gore)]

Hi,
I have a query about the bases in qiime2 view interactive plots.

When I view any .qzv that produce interactive quality plots, and download the associated Parametric seven-number summary tsv, the base numbers in the .tsv do not align to the base numbers on the interactive plot. The base on the interactive plot starts at 1 and the base in the .tsv starts at 0.

Which of the two (the interactive plot or .tsv) should I use to select the base where I truncate?

Cheers
Rachele

Hi @Rach,
Thanks for pointing this out!
We have an issue for this on our github: Plot and 7-number summaries off-by-one · Issue #110 · qiime2/q2-demux · GitHub and will be fixing this in our next release.
As for which one to use, use the interactive plot to chose truncation length or just +1 to the file!

Hope this helps!

Thanks so much.
