Plugin error from deblur:max() arg is an empty sequence

Hello everyone,
I am facing some issues with qiime deblur denoise-16. My data is sequenced using NextSeq5000 with read length 300 bp. I am using qiime2023.7 version. I have shared the command, error and input data. Please help me with it.

Command:
"qiime deblur denoise-16S --i-demultiplexed-seqs paired-end-demux.qza --p-trim-length 220 p-sample-stats --output-dir deblurresults"

error:

Thank you.

Hello @Sowmiya_Kathir,

Welcome to the forums. I appreciate your patience while we work on this.

Here are the important lines from the log:

INFO(140018238961472)2024-05-29 09:29:15,280:total sequences 3450, passing sequences 3450, failing sequences 0

INFO(140094201935680)2024-05-29 09:31:17,705:total sequences 254, passing sequences 0, failing sequences 254

Two things I would like to check. Are you using more than 3 samples, or are we only seeing the log file from the first three samples?

It looks like most reads are passing the filter, which is a good sign!
It does say output saved to ... so does it make any output in this folder?

Hi @colinbrislawn ,

Thanks for your reply. I am using only 2 samples, and also it doesn't create any output.

Okay. Good to know.

Something is missing here... because I can count three samples in the output log posted above.

Perhaps you can try rerunning this analysis in a new location and seeing what happens there? Gaining an extra sample for unknown reasons is spooky! :ghost:

As you suggested I have rerun the the analysis in new location. And still I got this issue.

can you check this. I have also attached the .qza file at the 1st post for your reference.

It looks like you ran more samples?

Or is only part of the log file included here?

Okay. Can you run qiime demux summarize on this and post that output?

My apologize, I have run the deblur command multiple times by changing the trim-length. whether, because of that it shows multiple sample?.

I have run qiime demux summarize and i have shared the result.
command:
qiime demux summarize --p-n 10000 --i-data paired-end-demux.qza --o-visualization paired-end-demux.qza

Hello Sowmiya,

Thank you for your patience. I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

I'm not very familear with the deblur program, but I think the issue is here:

INFO(140171525900096)2024-06-05 09:39:14,476:
total sequences 596, passing sequences 0, failing sequences 596

So all sequences look like artifacts are removed during the remove_artifacts_seqs step! That's not good!

Then later,

WARNING(140171525900096)2024-06-05 09:39:14,518:removed 2 samples with reads per sample<1

Both of your samples are lost here, but the true problem is earlier in the 'remove_artifacts_seqs` step.

Very strange! I'm not sure what is causing this issue with your 16S data. What primers were used to amplify this target rRNA?
