Metadata table in QIIME2

Question

[Wendy]

Hello everyone!

I am starting my learning in all this exciting field of bioinformatics and I need to use QIIME to get the phylogenetic analysis of sequences already published as a results of an article.

I've been reading that I have to do a metadata table where there are data that is mandatory.

Currently I have the fastq file for each one of the sequences and a metadata table related that I download from this link: 'https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/study/?acc=SRP301897&o=acc_s%3Aa'

However, this metadata table doesn't contain information about the barcodes, so I guess I am working with demultiplexed data?

In this case, how can I get my metadata table without QIIME make me put if anyway?

I will really appreciate your answer

Thanks!

This link from Qiime2 doc should help. There are links for example metadata files if you scroll down on the page.

Hey... thanks a lot!!

I had read a little but I was a little desperate at that time. I read again and I've found my answer.

Thanks a ton!
