HI again @Nadine_Veasley ,

I believe you have your answer 😃. These plots are due to the sequencing platform you used, they give binned quality scores - so the quality plot looks different.

Try searching the forum (it's an amazing resource if you tap into it!) . There are many posts on the forum about moving forward with this data, like this [one](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/novaseq-and-dada2-incompatibility/25865/12).

best,

Vic
