Merging qiime2 sample metadata with exterior taxonomic classifications

Hello Randall,

Welcome to the forums! :qiime2:

You may find this thread interesting!


The easiest way to get a plain-text version of your feature table is to first export the artifact, then convert the resulting BIOM table.

qiime tools export \
  --input-path your-feature-table.qza \
  --output-path exported-feature-table
biom convert \
  -i exported-feature-table/feature-table.biom \
  -o feature-table.tsv \
  --to-tsv

There are a few ways to do this within Qiime2 too, if you would prefer.
