The tip lables of the tree are not matched with the OTU table

Hello,
I uploaded a phylogenetic tree along with ASV table and taxonomy file, and the phylogenetic tree alway give an error like “The tip lables of the tree are not matched with the OTU table”. It was generated in QIIME2, so I am not sure if this is the problem of QIIME2 or MicrobiomeAnalyst. Could anyone help with this?

I searched through the forum and saw another post regarding the same issue in 2022. The issue was fixed after 5 months, however, with no specific explanation in terms of what actually causes the problem. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could share any insights or thoughts.

Thank you!

The message literally tells you that feature names and the tree labels are not identical. It is not a bug related to our tool. This is related to how you generated the tree and the table. You are the one could provide specific explanation in terms of what actually causes the problem. To fix the issue, you need to find out which name(s) are different and manually correct your data.

Thank you for the response. Just for future reference to everyone who might have the same problem, it was pretty easy to change the label manually — check the difference in R or simply in text file, and in my case, the feature IDs in nwk tree file was quoted in ". Find and Replace function in text editor can simply remove all " in a click. Hope this helps.
