v2.0.0
Release Highlights
- Removed BBmap dependency
- BBmap scripts are no longer used in the pipeline, including:
- reformat.sh (interleaved files no longer supported)
- bbmerge.sh (merging of paired-end reads now done with Vsearch --fastq_mergepairs)
- merging of paired-end reads is different between Vsearch and BBmerge, so results may differ
- BBmap scripts are no longer used in the pipeline, including:
- Updated dereplication step for newer versions of Vsearch
- Dereplication step now done using Vsearch --fastx_uniques (derep_fulllength command no longer supports fastq files)
- Qiime2 plugin version of ITSxpress is now part of the standalone package of ITSxpress
- No longer need to install q2-itsxpress separately and will be installed if Qiime2 is already installed, otherwise only the standalone version will be installed
- Qiime2 plugin version of ITSxpress is no longer maintained after q2-itsxpress v1.8.1
- Pacbio sequences are now supported if fastq file scores are in Illumina format
Bug Fixes - Fixed bug where the itsxpress qiime plugin was not handling single-end reads correctly, and was looking for a reverse read file
