qiime feature-classifier classify-consensus-vsearch error

Hello again @Asha1 and welcome to the forum @mica.tosi !

I apologize both for the delay, I was out of the office.

Yes thanks indeed for asking in this topic! It seems you have identical issues so asking here will save us all time. And thanks for troubleshooting this a little bit and providing details on your process.

This issue is almost always caused by formatting issues, occasionally very cryptic issues. So we usually only see this crop up when someone is generating their own reference database since the kinks have mostly been worked out for commonly used databases — or when the reference sequences and taxonomy really do not match (honest mistakes happen!)

So with that in mind please see this:

My hunch is that you both could have this same issue with invisible line breaks causing formatting issues. Want to take a look and report back?
