Hi,

When processing multiple samples, after classifying the OTUs, is there any way to get a file like the one classify.otu outputs, but containing only the OTUs of a particular group or set of particular groups? Ex. : I processed 3 samples (A, B and C) and I want the specific file of classified OTUs for sample A only. I thought get.groups could do that but I would need a file that links OTUs num to sequences names… Thanks for your help

It would probably be easiest for you to write a script in R to do this or to do it in Excel.
