Hello everyone

I want to work an analysis with picrust 2, at the moment of entering my .biom files, it asks me for the table of DNA\_sequences.fasta, that table in which file of which mothur generates during the analysis of 16s can I find it and under what name, I believed it could be: stability.trim.contigs or stability.trim.contigs.good.

Kind regards

I’m not a big fan of the picrusts, but you can see how we ran it with mothur-generated files using the code in this script…
