Processing, filtering, and evaluating the SILVA database (and other reference sequence data) with RESCRIPt

A couple of super short observations @SoilRotifer @Nicholas_Bokulich as I'm following this tutorial for COI work. The block of code following the following section needs a couple of tiny adjustments:

As it currently is shown:

qiime rescript dereplicate \
    --i-sequences silva-138-ssu-nr99-seqs-filt.qza \
    --i-taxa silva-138-ssu-nr99-tax.qza \
    --i--p-perc-identity 97 \
...

It's just a type with the last line I've shown in the code block above ^^.

Replace --i--p-perc-identity with --p-perc-identity like this:

qiime rescript dereplicate \
    --i-sequences silva-138-ssu-nr99-seqs-filt.qza \
    --i-taxa silva-138-ssu-nr99-tax.qza \
    --p-perc-identity 97 \
...

Along the same lines, the expected value in the --p-perc-identity is now expected to be a value between 0 and 1, instead of an integer from 0 to 100. So in reality, the code I'd need to run would be:

qiime rescript dereplicate \
    --i-sequences silva-138-ssu-nr99-seqs-filt.qza \
    --i-taxa silva-138-ssu-nr99-tax.qza \
    --p-perc-identity 0.97 \
...

Thanks for the great tool - more to come on my end soon with the COI tests.
