Hi, community,

I use the Kneaddata to filter the sequences.

Here is the code I use 
kneaddata --input ../18TB_C1_L003_1.fastq --input ../18TB_C1_L003_2.fastq --reference-db /home/silva_128 --output kneaddata_output_silva132 --run-bmtagger --threads 30

However, I got the error, see attachment. I have searched the website, no clues. Is there anyone who can help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi - It looks like your input files might not be in fastq format. I would double check the format of your input files. It looks like they might possibly be output files from metaphlan2.

Thanks,
Lauren

Hi, 

 

May I follow up a question? I attached my result files from kneaddata. Since I use the protocal listed in biobakery, no one seems make sense to me with the demo run result.

 

Since there are so many files produced as listed in the attachment file.txt. I am not sure which one was the filtered data taht can be used as the HUMAnN2 inputs. Based on the log file listed, I think the tailed 4 lines in the log file was the final files in this procedures. Just want make sure that they are the right files  for my next HUMAnN2 input. Is that correct?

 

Millions of thanks.

Hi - Yes, you are correct the final output files listed in the kneaddata log are the filtered reads that are used as input to humann2. You can just concatenate these files into a single file per sample. Alternatively, when running kneaddata you can add the option "--cat-final-output" which will generate a single output file for use with humann2.

Thanks,
Lauren
