The bat data was already split into forward and reverse reads when I downloaded it. As far as resources, I didn't find a whole lot of specific things, but I found the general manual to be more helpful than the -help argument with different commands https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK279690/#CmdLineAppsManual.Quick_start. blastn works really similarly to blastx (I think?) so if you can find tutorials on that that would probably be useful!
Was your bat sequence data already divided into forward and reverse reads, or did you have a pipeline step to sort it? I was also wondering what resources you read/found about using blastn for betabarcoding.
The comments on your code are very helpful/clear, I'm going to aspire to bring my code comments to this level.
