I'm trying to run some nanopore test reads through mothur but am getting stuck at the very beginning. I was going to follow your pacbio example so was trying to start with fastq.info. My data are concatenated fastq.gz as spit out by minknow. But fastq.info doesn't seem to take .gz? is there another way that I should get these reads into a format for mothur?

thanks

Kendra

yeah, sorry it was that easy of a fix.

can I ask another question here? other than aligning seqs, is there a way to search for primers that may not be the very beginning or end of the sequence? Quality of nanopore isn't great for the first ~10bp so I think I'm going to throw out too many seqs if I search for the full primer/adapter.

Sorry not getting what happens to the parts of the seq that are before or after the alignment. Do those get trimmed by align.seqs?

I'm aligning the whole data set right now against the full silva nr, it's just taking a while because I'm not reducing data much with unique.seqs-dropped a few thousand seqs out of 7M.

oh I should do that. I ran it once and it removed ~75% of the sequences (fine whatever). But when i aligned only a few thousand out of 1.8M needed to be reversed which strikes me as odd. I've restarted pcr.seqs with checkorient=T but maybe I needed to play with pdiffs
