Hello there,
I’m new to mothur and have been having issues with the trim.flows command, although it could be an error for the mac version of mothur because someone I know tried the same files and commands on Linux and it worked fine.
I want to start by saying that the sffinfo(sff=2012.sff) worked just fine, and it did create a successful 2012.flow file.
Here is the command I am having an issue with, for bdiffs I did try bdiffs=0 and the error was the same.
mothur > trim.flows(flow=2012.flow, oligos=2012.oligos, pdiffs=2, order=A, minflows=360)
after this command it ran through but the 2012.flow.files was empty
below I have the 2012.oligos file
