I am getting this error while running classify command
mothur > classify.seqs(fasta=unique_ASVs.fasta, reference=/home/adyasha/18S/data/silva.seed_v138_2.align, taxonomy=/home/adyasha/18S/data/silva.seed_v138_2.tax, cutoff=60, probs=FALSE, processors=4)
[ERROR]: has occurred in the MothurOut class function mothurConvert. Please contact Pat Schloss at mothur.bugs@gmail.com, and be sure to include the mothur.logFile with your inquiry.
The error message indicates mothur likely had trouble reading the taxonomy file. This can happen if part of the taxonomy string is mistaken for a confidence score. Did you generate the reference and taxonomy files yourself?
