Hello Bingbing,

Thank you for reporting this error. It has been submitted as a 
correction to the development team. For now, just remove or ignore the 
"_dup1" portion of the sequence names.

If you do not see a resolution by mid-summer, please feel free to 
contact us for an update.

I hope this information is helpful. And we very much apologize for the 
inconvenience this error has caused you.

Best regards,
Jen
