Running deunique.seqs with a count table?

Commands in mothur

Hi,
mothur deunique.seqs only accepts a name file but doesn’t work with a count table.
Is there a way to deunique a fasta file using the count file, or alternatively generate a name file from a count table and using it for deunique.seqs?
The trouble is that once I started running unique.seqs with the count option I stopped getting new name files and now I’m too far down the road…

Thanks in advance,
Roey

The count table only contains the unique sequence names and counts of the redundants. This is done to save time and memory when processing large datasets. Since the redundant names are not in the table, there is no way deunique the sequences back to the names found in the original dataset.
