Weird V4 profile

Hi @asbarros,

If. you'd like to reomove the primers then all you need to do is, (do not use the adapter flags):

qiime cutadapt trim-paired \
    --i-demultiplexed-sequences 01_intermediate_files/Reads_full.qza \
    --p-cores 12 \
    --p-front-f GTGYCAGCMGCCGCGGTAA \
    --p-front-r GGACTACNVGGGTWTCTAAT \
    --verbose \
    --p-discard-untrimmed \
    --o-trimmed-sequences 01_intermediate_files/Reads_full_clean.qza\01_intermediate_files/Reads_full_cutadapt_log.txt

If your reads are in mixed orientation then you'd run as outlined here with the primers and reverse complement for the --p-front-* flags. Most do not need to run cutadapt in this say, so the first example should work.
