Convert QIIME1 OTU table to QIIME2 taxa bar plot

[Nicholas_Bokulich]

Hi @SteveMcL,

@SteveMcL

Is there way to directly convert them to the taxa bar plot (from Kingdom down to Species) in QIIME2?

Yes!

1. import as a feature table.
2. You will also need to import your biom table as a FeatureData[Taxonomy] artifact to extract the taxonomy assignments. See this forum post for a prior example of steps 1 and 2: Feature-table filter-samples removes taxonomy from biom table - #3 by thermokarst
3. Once you have those files imported, it is as simple as using qiime taxa barplot to generate a barplot.

Ideally not having to go through the .qza format

Almost everything in QIIME 2 uses artifact (QZA) files. There is no way around that.

Good luck!
