Your count file does not include the sequence...

Hello,

I am in the process of analyzing some MiSeq 250PE data (16S, 515F/806R). I have been been through the SOP and I am now running one of my samples. At the mothur > screen.seqs step, I have gotten an error regarding missing sequences (pasted below). I am not sure how to deal with this error.

Mismatches like this often occur when you forget to include a name or count file on a command where you used the associated fasta file. If you post the commands you ran so far, I may be able to spot it.

Some of you sequences generated alignments that eliminated too many bases, a list is provided in 16S_1_GCGATATATCGC_L001_R1_001.trim.contigs.good.unique.flip.accnos. If you set the flip parameter to true mothur will try aligning the reverse compliment as well.

It took 89 secs to screen 173415 sequences.

I think the problem may be here:

mothur > screen.seqs(fasta=16S_1_GCGATATATCGC_L001_R1_001.trim.contigs.good.unique.align, count=16S_1_GCGATATATCGC_L001_R1_001.trim.contigs.good.count_table, summary=16S_1_GCGATATATCGC_L001_R1_001.trim.contigs.

I think you wanted to use summary=16S_1_GCGATATATCGC_L001_R1_001.trim.contigs.good.unique.summary.
