This site has been replaced by the new QIIME 2 “amplicon distribution” documentation, as of the 2025.4 release of QIIME 2. You can still access the content from the “old docs” here for the QIIME 2 2024.10 and earlier releases, but we recommend that you transition to the new documentation at https://amplicon-docs.qiime2.org. Content on this site is no longer updated and may be out of date.

merge-seqs: Combine collections of feature sequences¶
Docstring:
Usage: qiime feature-table merge-seqs [OPTIONS]
Combines feature data objects which may or may not contain data for the same
features. If different feature data is present for the same feature id in
the inputs, the data from the first will be propagated to the result.
Inputs:
--i-data ARTIFACTS... List[FeatureData[Sequence]]
The collection of feature sequences to be merged.
[required]
Outputs:
--o-merged-data ARTIFACT FeatureData[Sequence]
The resulting collection of feature sequences
containing all feature sequences provided. [required]
Miscellaneous:
--output-dir PATH Output unspecified results to a directory
--verbose / --quiet Display verbose output to stdout and/or stderr
during execution of this action. Or silence output if
execution is successful (silence is golden).
--example-data PATH Write example data and exit.
--citations Show citations and exit.
--use-cache DIRECTORY Specify the cache to be used for the intermediate
work of this action. If not provided, the default
cache under $TMP/qiime2/ will be used.
IMPORTANT FOR HPC USERS: If you are on an HPC system
and are using parallel execution it is important to
set this to a location that is globally accessible to
all nodes in the cluster.
--help Show this message and exit.
Examples:
# ### example: feature table merge seqs
