chimera.uchime and merge.files commands

Hello!

I’m having 2 different problems with 2 analyses:
In the first analysis, I can’t complete the chimera.uhime command. The accnos file was not complete and the error message below was exhibited:

What can I do?

The second problem is in other file and other analysis. I have to merge files in order to comparing two microbiomes. So, I merged the taxonomy, count_table and fasta files from both microbiomes, which were generated after the remove.lineage command. However, when I performed the next step which was the cluster.split command, it was started, but in few minutes was interrupted. The error message said that the fasta file used is not unique…

Could someone help me?

Thanks a lot!!!

You can’t merge the count_tables. Can you try merging your data before running count.seqs and see if both problems go away?
