Importing FeatureData[Taxonomy]

Hi @five, we updated the TSVTaxonomyFormat in a recent release. Since the SILVA data you are attempting to import doesn’t contain a TSV header row, you will need to specify the source-format of the data on import to utilize the HeaderlessTSVTaxonomyFormat, instead of the default, TSVTaxonomyFormat:

qiime tools import \
 --type FeatureData[Taxonomy] \
 --input-path Data/Classifiers/Silva_128_release/SILVA_128_QIIME_release/taxonomy/16S_only/90/consensus_taxonomy_7_levels.txt \
 --source-format HeaderlessTSVTaxonomyFormat \
 --output-path Data/Classifiers/Silva90_16STaxonomy.qza

Hope that helps!
