Upon completion of the tutorial @ Building an amplicon sequence variant (ASV) table from 16S data using DADA2, I obtained two files: one resulting from the removal of chimeras and another from taxonomic assignment.
I would like to inquire whether it is appropriate to replace the gene sequence (column1) with the number ASV1, ASV2, and so forth to generate an ASV table. Is this approach correct? Please see the screenshot of both tables. Thanks!
