It wasn't recognizing the -i because it was a long "-" not a short one. Must have been from copying from word into the command line. WOW!

This is a pretty common problem on both PC/mac OS. You should turn off "smart" hyphens (and other smart things) in keyboard preferences. -
Nice work j.cappellazzi!
I hadn't heard of that hyphen issue - bit of a trap!
The "./" in my command refers to a 'relative' path. I.e., it will look for a folder that is in your current directory. This is in contrast to absolute paths, i.e., "/home/qiime/Desktop/Hilo_New/" that will work no matter where you run them from.
I think the problem with my original command is that the folder name and the name in the command were slightly different. You created a folder called "FastX-filterFastq", but the command is trying to create output here "./fastX-filterFastq/". Note the lower-case 'f' in fastX.
Anyway, glad you got it working!
Cheers,

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...Yesterday, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
