An interface package (beta) for the BIOM file format.
Description
This is an R package for interfacing with the BIOM format.
Currently in beta form, 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.
