Error: Unicode unequal comparison...

[colinbrislawn]

I receive the following error on prep 3050 of study 11114

Unicode unequal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal

This is the prep-info file that caused this error.
qiita_prep_info_16s.txt

Edit: Also, about half of the samples were matched to run_prefix and placed in the right columns, but the second half of samples were not. IDK if this is related to the unicode error, or different.

Edit: In the interface, some samples are listed twice; once in the 'Available Files', then again in the other columns. I still don't know if this is related.

Perhaps this happens when a a single run_prefixes matches similar samples.

This fails with a run_prefix of T11:

This works with a run_prefix of T11R (now it's unique!):
