Many years ago, I used to use QIIME 1 with pynast to filter ASV sequence sets prior to EPA placement with RAxML (now I would use epa-ng), and I'm looking for a practical way to do this now that both these pieces of software have gone by the wayside. I don't think I can get this pipeline running on a contemporary machine.
inputs: a set of ASVs that are pre-filtered based on interest, guide alignments and trees for specific clades, again selected based on interest
caveats: assume that we don't know a priori which ASVs fall w/in which clade, and are looking for a practical way to filter the set of ASVs prior to alignment and placement w/in each clade of interest. I'd like to do this for 8+ clades and two genes, so a smooth approach that isn't too hacky or labour intensive would be ideal
goals: given the input ASVs, align them to a template alignment based on similarity (i.e. dissimilar sequences are discarded during the alignment process) and use the resulting alignment to place the ASVs into a guide tree
does anyone have a working method for doing this? specifically: i don't know a good piece of software to use for discarding dissimilar ASVs when aligning to a template. tree placement is trivial once i have the correct inputs for that step
thanks in advance

Like all molecular biology applications, next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows require diligent quality control (QC) measures to ensure accurate and reproducible results. Proper QC begins at nucleic acid extraction and continues all the way through to data analysis. This article outlines the key QC steps in an NGS workflow, along with the commonly used tools and techniques.
