  • Convert mothur classify.seqs output to BIOM format

    I got a lot of problems trying to convert output of mothur classify.seqs to BIOM format so that I can import data into phyloseq R package. I have FASTA file with paired-end reads already being merged with PEAR program.

    I aligned my sequences to SILVA database with this command

    mothur > align.seqs(fasta=sample.fasta, reference=silva.bacteria.fasta, processors=4, flip=t)

    and then I classified it using the same database

    mothur > classify.seqs(fasta=sample.align, reference=silva.bacteria.fasta, taxonomy=silva.bacteria.silva.tax, cutoff=80)


    After this procedure I got different files: "sample.summary", "sample.silva.wang.taxonomy" and "sample.silva.wang.tax.summary". But I don't know how to import them into phyloseq R package.

    I've read here https://github.com/joey711/phyloseq/issues/245 about shared file from which I can create BIOM file, but I don't have .list or .group files for make.shared command.

    Can someone help?

    Sincerely yours,

    Petr

    You have only classified your sequences, you haven't clustered them into OTUs which generates your list and shared files. Have you tried following the mothur how to?

      Thank you for your quick response!

      I didn't mention that I used RDPTools classifier for my purposes earlier, but then some samples were classified badly. So I decided to check, if RDPTools classifier is not very good, and try mothur classifier. To achieve my goal I wanted to omit some steps in mothur SOP so that I can compare only classifiers in both pipelines. But now I realize it wasn't a really good idea.

      I'll try to follow this SOP step by step now.

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
