Problem importing taxonomy.tsv file

Hi @Sean_K_Bay,

What happens if you remove the header (the line with "OTU ReferenceTaxon") and issue:

$ qiime tools import --input-path taxonomy.txt \
    --output-path taxonomy.qza \
    --type FeatureData[Taxonomy] \
    --source-format HeaderlessTSVTaxonomyFormat

My guess is the header is presenting some challenges. By removing the header, and explicitly telling QIIME the format of the input file, I was able to get the taxonomy data pasted in the thread to load.

Happy new year!

Best,
Daniel
