Notes

This is intended to be close to how QIIME classic OTU tables are parsed with the exception of the additional md_name field

This function is ported from QIIME (http://www.qiime.org), previously named parse_classic_otu_table. QIIME is a GPL project, but we obtained permission from the authors of this function to port it to the BIOM Format project (and keep it under BIOM’s BSD license).
