Hi again!! So I’m working on another dataset that’s grabbed samples from a couple different projects and once I get to the filter.seqs stage my sequences end up being 12 BP long. I think the trouble starts back when I go to align my sequences with SILVA. My workflow and outputs are as follows from my count table after I’ve filtered my sequences for length:
mothur >summary.seqs(count=stability.trim.contigs.good.count_table)
