merging taxonomy assignment table with rarefied feature table

[llenzi (Luca)]

Hi @JeanRodrig,

The following thread may be very useful to debug your problem, there are lots of suggestions you can try:

Biom add metadata problem

Thanks, when you check your biom file by converting to text don't forget the --header-key taxonomy command as someone specified above or otherwise when you unwrap the biom file it won't include the taxonomy in the last column.

At first glance I would ask you which command you used to convert the 'table-with-taxonomy.biom' to txt file, did you add the '-header-key taxonomy' to that? Without it your taxonomy data would not be exported in the file you are trying to import in OpenOffice!

Cheers
