Hi everyone! I am new to mothur and I am still learning how to open the outputs in R to use for downstream analysis. I am currently trying to make a multivariate model using the count table data from mothur. I just am unsure how to open this file in an intuitive way in R so I can see counts per site. How do yall open/analyze your count table data?
Hi there,
If you look at the count file wiki page you’ll see how you can convert between your compressed/sparse version and the full form. It is probably easiest to read the full form file into R since it will be a rectangular data frame.
