Meet the data

Your task

Inspect the three tidy input tables.

File	Rows	Columns
feature-counts.tsv	One per feature	feature_id, then one count column per sample
sample-metadata.tsv	One per sample	sample_id, group; optional study variables
taxonomy.tsv	One per feature	feature_id, taxon

Inputs live in data/example/. Taxon labels are fictional. Match sample A01 and feature F01 across the files.

Use your own data

Create the same three filenames in data/my-study/. Use unique matching identifiers and untransformed integer counts, not percentages. Additional metadata are retained, but the scripts do not adjust for them.

Check before continuing

Explain what a row and column represent in each file. The workflow supports different sample names, feature counts, and two or more group labels.
