    Question about Qiime otu picking

    Dear All

    I am new to 16s sequencing analysis and just finished the otu picking by Qiime.

    Here is the otu pick log file.

    OtuPicker parameters:
    Application:uclust
    Similarity:0.97
    chimeras_retention:union
    enable_rev_strand_matching:False
    exact:False
    max_accepts:20
    max_rejects:500
    new_cluster_identifier:denovo
    next_new_cluster_number:1
    optimal:False
    output_dir:ucrC_all//uclust_ref_picked_otus
    prefilter_identical_sequences:True
    presort_by_abundance:True
    save_uc_files:True
    stable_sort:True
    stepwords:20
    suppress_new_clusters:True
    suppress_sort:True
    word_length:12
    Reference seqs:/home/qiime/Desktop/Shared_Folder/Ref_greengenes_13_8/97ref/97_otus.fasta
    Num OTUs:6546
    Num new OTUs:0
    Num failures:3012933
    Result path: ucrC_all//uclust_ref_picked_otus/seqs_otus.txt

    Seems that I only have 6546/3012933 otu have been picked. Is this normal?

    My libraries were sequenced by Miseq 250x2. I sequenced V4 region only.

    Any help will be appreciated

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2





    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
