An interface package (beta) for the BIOM file format.
Description
This is an R package for interfacing with the
BIOM format. This package includes basic tools for
reading biom-format files, accessing and subsetting
data tables from a biom object (which is more complex
than a single table), as well as limited support for
writing a biom-object back to a biom-format file. The
design of this API is intended to match the python API
and other tools included with the biom-format project,
but with a decidedly "R flavor" that should be familiar
to R users. This includes S4 classes and methods, as
well as extensions of common core functions/methods.
