Cover Story: Qiime2 is one of the most popular software tools used for analysis of output from metabarcoding experiments (e.g., sequencing of 16S, 18S, or ITS amplicons). Qiime2 introduced a novel and innovative data exchange format: the ‘Qiime2 artifact’. Qiime2 artifacts are structured compressed archives containing a dataset and its associated metadata. Examples of datasets are FASTQ reads, representative sequences in FASTA format, a phylogenetic tree in Newick format, while examples of metadata are the command that generated the artifact, information on the execution environment, citations on the used software, and all the metadata of the artifacts used to produce it. While artifacts can improve the shareability and reproducibility of Qiime2 workflows, they are less easily integrated with general bioinformatics pipelines. View this paper
