Please see following error report
Plugin error from itsxpress: /tmp/q2-CasavaOneEightSingleLanePerSampleDirFmt-zkswhuwu/ITSTW31_S267_L001_R2_001.fastq.gz is not a(n) FastqGzFormat file: Missing sequence for record beginning on line 5 Debug info has been saved to /tmp/qiime2-q2cli-err-nn4micb2.log
I went through all the threads with the similar issue. But nothing is working
My itsxpress version
itsxpress 1.8.0 pyhdfd78af_2 bioconda
q2-itsxpress 1.8.0 pypi_0 pypi
Finally settled with qiime dada2 denoise-single using the forward reads. but not sure whether I used correct trimming lengths.
Is it possible identify my all missing sequences. I can remove them and run q2-itsxpress again. Because I have used q2-itsxpress for analyzing all my other data. Please help me.
Could you share the debug info that was saved to /tmp/qiime2-q2cli-err-nn4micb2.log ? That might help others in their attempts to help with this.
Also, could you share earlier steps in the read processing? I remember having issues with using itsexpress, similarly saying things like this. If you used cutadapt or anything else that could have filtered reads, it could be leading to this happening downstream.
This last part isn't tech support, but I think is worth saying: When it comes to the ITS, in my experience and talking to other people who have worked extensively in the ITS region with amplicon data, using just the forward reads is often perfectly fine. The reverse reads have worse quality typically, and if you amplified the entire ITS region (ITS 1 and ITS 2 both amplified, which happens with pairs like ITS1f/ITS4), you will most likely lose a massive amount of reads regardless if you try to use dada2 denoise-paired because many wont be able to pair on account of the combination of poor quality in the region that would be overlapping and the fact that the ITS 1-5.82-ITS 2 stretch can be well over 600bp regardless.
This is moreso to say that this is going to likely be okay if you proceed just using the denoising with forward reads!
