Qiime mapping file from genebank data

Question

[Lille My]

Hi all, I'm relatively new to bioinformatics, and I think that I might be missing something. I've downloaded a 16S dataset from a project in genebank. it's already demultiplexed, and I don't have a mapping file. Does data on genebank SRA has mapping files? Or should I make it myself? There are no barcodes. thanks!

What are you trying to achieve?

Making a mapping file for QIIME should be easy.

Provide me a link to your downloaded dataset and by looking at it, I will try to see how I can help.
