I have tried to run make.sra in mothur v 1.36.1 and I got this:

mothur \> make.sra(fastq=siqoriginal.fastq, oligos=caries.oligos, project=project.txt, mimark=caries.tsv, platform=ILLUMINA, libstrategy=amplicon, instrument=Illumina\_MiSeq)

/\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*/  
Running command: fastq.info(fasta=f, qfile=f, fastq=siqoriginal.fastq, oligos=caries.oligos)  
[ERROR]: no outputs selected. Aborting.  
/\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*/

Output File Names:  
submission.xml

The problem seems to be in the fastq.info with both fasta and qfile in “F”.  
The command fastq.info alone works without this options.

I used then the v 1.35 to run make.sra and it worked just fine.

Thanks!

Thanks for reporting this bug. It effects the make.sra command with a single fastq file and oligos file and will be corrected in our next release coming soon. I am glad you were able to work around it with version 1.35.
