Convert biom to classic table with sample metadata #632

Closed weebeige closed 8 years ago

weebeige commented 9 years ago

I have a biom file that has sample metadata and OTU taxonomy data. When converting the biom file into a classic table, I loose the sample metadata. Is there a way to keep it i.e. to get a classic table with taxonomy and sample metadata? Thanks

There's not unfortunately, sample metadata isn't supported in classic-formatted files (which was one of the reasons for the transition to BIOM).
