Hi,
I have a problem in filtering my data in DADA2. First, I removed primers using cutadapt.
Then in the DADA2 filterAndTrim step using truncLen = c(245, 240), I lost so much data and I can’t figure it out.
Reads: V3-V4 region using 341F/802R, 250 cycle. So (500-(802-341))=39 bp overlap.
My command: out <- filterAndTrim(fnFs, filtFs, fnRs, filtRs, truncLen=c(245,240),
maxN=0, maxEE=c(1,1), truncQ=2, rm.phix=TRUE,
compress=TRUE, multithread=TRUE)
This is the result after running the command:
reads.in reads.out
