Combine shared file and taxonomy

Commands in mothur

Hello,

How are you?

It is the first time I am dealing with the MiSeq SOP, so I am facing some basic problems. I hope you can help me! :slight_smile:

I need to combine 2 files and I don’t know which command is the right one. I need to combine a share file (it has the list of OTUs and the counts by sample) with a taxonomy file (Taxonomy of each OTU). What I want is a final file that includes the Taxonomy with the counts by sample. I mean, I want to substitute the OTU for its corresponding taxonomy. Is this possible?

Thank you very much!!!

Perhaps you want the create.database command?
