build_tax_table: Build a tax_table from a named possibly-jagged list

Description

Build a tax_table from a named possibly-jagged list

Usage

build_tax_table(taxlist)

Arguments

taxlist

(Required). A list in which each element is a vector of taxonomic assignments named by rank. Every element of every vector must be named by the rank it represents. Every element of the list (every vector) should correspond to a single OTU and be named for that OTU.

Value

• A tax_table (taxonomyTable-class) that has been built from taxlist. The OTU names of this output will be the element names of taxlist, and a separate taxonomic rank (column) will be included for each unique rank found among the element names of each vector in the list. NA_character_ is the default value of elements in the tax_table for which there is no corresponding information in taxlist.
