ITSxpress v1.7.2 fixes bug causing “Line 17” errors.

@omera.WIS @einamart @bsen2018 @Nicholas_Bokulich @ebolyen

Impact

  • Fixes an error that occasionally caused come qiime itsxpress runs to crash.
  • Fixes an error in the way that HMMER data was parsed that caused about 0.2% of reads to be incorrectly trimmed, including some to be trimmed to length 0 which was causing the Qiime issue.
  • For more details see: https://github.com/USDA-ARS-GBRU/itsxpress/issues/8

How to fix

To update make sure that both itsxpress and q2-itsxpress are at version 1.7.2

From conda (should be available in a few hours):
conda install -c bioconda itsxpress==1.7.2

Or if you can’t wait: from PIP:
pip install itsxpress==1.7.2

The plugin is versioned differently and requires itsxpress. You must update itsxpress to get the fix. You should check that the qiime plugin q2-itsxpress is also up to date:

pip install q2-itsxpress==1.7.2
