This section provides and describes the available templates, that will allow you to format OTU tables to be uploaded to the MDT. The templates include all the required and recommended fields and a few more. Refer to the section [preparation_structure] – specifically the section [fit_data] – for detailed information and best practices on how to prepare and structure datasets for uploading and processing, and the section [req_recom] for information on required and recommended fields.
A workbook with three/four sheets: OTU_table, Taxonomy, Samples and (optionally) Study. The latter (Study) contains study-wide global values. The OTU_table must have samples as columns and OTUs as rows.
A workbook with three/four sheets: OTU_table, Taxonomy, Samples and (optionally) Study. The latter (Study) contains study-wide global values. Instead of having the sequences in the Taxonomy sheet, a fasta file (seqs.fasta) is provided. The OTU_table must have samples as columns and OTUs as rows. The fasta file must have fasta headers corresponding to the OTU IDs used in the OTU_table sheet and in the Taxonomy sheet.
Three/four tsv (or csv) files OTU_table.tsv, Taxonomy.tsv, Samples.tsv, and (optionally) Study.tsv containing study-wide global values. The OTU table can have samples as either columns or rows.
