Hey Pat  
I figured out my issues getting mgcluster to run on my data so now have the list file. My next step was to read that in using the read.otu command, correct? I have multiple samples that I clustered so was trying to use group to generate the shared otu file. But I’m getting the following error. It seems to me that mothur is reading a space as a sequence name? I haven’t done anything to the list file and since it’s so huge I can’t open it with a text editor to see what’s wrong with the file. There weren’t any errors when I ran mgcluster.

help!  
Kendra

  
mothur \> read.otu(list=j\_LP\_HOT\_SI\_aa.fas.fn.list, group=j\_LP\_HOT\_SI\_aa.group, label=0.2-0.4-0.6) Error: Sequence '' was not found in the group file, please correct.

Could you send your list and group file to [mothur.bugs@gmail.com](mailto:mothur.bugs@gmail.com)?

I think I may have a bad selfblast. I’m repeating that and will send you the files if reblasting doesn’t fix the problem.

thanks
