Thanks to your contributions, we were able to purchase the Geneious software package to validate our analyses. I’m still in the midst of pre-processing for our sequences–since we have millions of reads and low quality data can result in inaccurate species identification, it’s important to use only the highest quality data to identify species. So I’m busily combing through our data to eliminate poor quality reads and sequences that are too small to be useful. Happy Friday and we hope to update you again soon!
