Length of filtered alignment: 0

Hello,
I am currently getting a filter length of 0 when I run the ‘filter.seqs’ command. I am using the v4 region for 16s on mothur version 1.43.0.

I am wondering if one issue has to do with the ‘pcr.seqs’ command; the ‘start’ and ‘end’ values of the reference sequence should be the same as the miseq SOP (correct)?

Can you post the output that was generated to the screen when you ran

summary.seqs(fasta=epa19.trim.contigs.good.unique.align, count=epa19.trim.contigs.good.count_table)

Thanks,
Pat
