biom.table.Table

class biom.table.Table(data, observation_ids, sample_ids, observation_metadata=None, sample_metadata=None, table_id=None, type=None, create_date=None, generated_by=None, observation_group_metadata=None, sample_group_metadata=None, validate=True, observation_index=None, sample_index=None, **kwargs)

The (canonically pronounced ‘teh’) Table.

Give in to the power of the Table!

Creates an in-memory representation of a BIOM file. BIOM version 1.0 is based on JSON to provide the overall structure for the format while versions 2.0 and 2.1 are based on HDF5. For more information see [1] and [2]

Raises:

TableException

When an invalid table type is provided.

Notes

Allowed table types are None, “OTU table”, “Pathway table”, “Function table”, “Ortholog table”, “Gene table”, “Metabolite table”, “Taxon table”
