read.features {SIAMCAT} | R Documentation

## Read feature file

### Description

This file reads in the tsv file with features and converts it into a matrix.

The file should be oragnized as follows: features (in rows) x samples (in columns).

First row should contain sample labels (consistent with label data), while the first column should contain feature labels (e.g. taxonomic identifiers). The remaining entries are expected to be real values `>= 0` that quantify the abundance of each feature in each sample.

### Usage

    read.features(fn.in.feat, verbose = 0)

### Arguments

`fn.in.feat` | name of the tsv file containing features
`verbose` | control output: `0` for no output at all, `1` for information about progress and time, defaults to `0`

### Value

`otu_table` containing features from the file

### Examples

        # run with example data
        fn.feat <- system.file('extdata',
        'feat_crc_study-pop-I_N141_tax_profile_mocat_bn_specI_clusters.tsv',
        package = 'SIAMCAT')

        features <- read.features(fn.feat)
