envHash2otu_table: Convert a sequence-sample hash (like ENV file) into an OTU...

Description Usage Arguments Value References See Also Examples

Parses an ENV-file into a sparse matrix of species-by-sample, where each species-row has only one non-zero value. We call this sparse abundance table the trivial OTU table, where every sequence is treated as a separate species. If a phylogenetic tree is available, it can be submitted with this table as arguments to tip_glom to create an object with a non-trivial otu_table.

tipSampleTable

(Required). A two-column character table (matrix or data.frame), where each row specifies the sequence name and source sample, consistent with the env-file for the UniFrac server (http://bmf2.colorado.edu/unifrac/).

otu_table. A trivial OTU table where each sequence is treated as a separate OTU.
