Can someone help?

Tried the following command:

biom convert -i OTU_original.txt -o OTU_original.biom --table-type "OTU table" --to-hdf5 --process-obs-metadata taxonomy

this is what I got:

biom convert: error: option -i: file does not exist: 'OTU.txt'

-bash-4.2$ biom convert -i OTU_original.txt -o OTU_original.biom --table-type "OTU table" --process-obs-metadata taxonomy

Traceback (most recent call last):

pyqi.core.exception.CommandError: Input does not look like a classic table. Did you forget to specify that a classic table file should be created from a BIOM table file?



Help would be very much appreciated - I am super lost!

Hi Incog,

Are you using the table you attached in the email? It does not like a classic table file to convert to biom format. It should be something like what I attached here.
x.tsv
