otu.hierarchy

Hi all,

I may be missing something obvious but I was wondering why the output file from <otu.hierarchy> begins with 0 when output=number? In other words, the OTU ID’s are all shifted by -1.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It will be fixed in the next release as well as a speed increase. The OTU numbers should all be plus one.
