How to make OTU table with NCBI taxnonomic ID's

[Nicholas_Bokulich]

Hi @Jagan_Nadhan , welcome to the forum!

It sounds like your question is about customizing a table outside of QIIME 2, so I have recategorized this topic to "general discussion".

@Jagan_Nadhan

i’ve been through the moving picture tutorial

From your question, it sounds like you might be looking for the "exporting" tutorial. See also the first part of this tutorial:

Exporting and modifying BIOM tables (e.g. adding taxonomy annotations)

Creating a TSV BIOM table The following is based on a post by @gregcaporaso. $ qiime tools export table.qza --output-dir ./ $ biom convert -i feature-table.biom -o feature-table.tsv --to-tsv $ biom head -i feature-table.tsv # Constructed from biom file #OTU ID L1S105 L1S140 L1S208 L1S257 L1S281 4b5eeb300368260019c1fbc7a3c718fc 2222.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 fe30ff0f71a38a39cf1717ec2be3a2fc 5.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 d29fe3c70564fc0f69f2c03e0d1e5561 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 868528ca947bc57b69ffdf83e6b73bae 0.0 227…

You will need to use biom-format (a separate software package, but which comes pre-installed together with QIIME 2) to generate such a text file. I recommend seeing the biom-format documentation if you run into any issues using that tool, or if you need more usage details.

Good luck!
