Dear all,

I am writing this message to seek your help regarding the conversion of excel file to .biom file. I must tell you that I am not a bioinformatic person and so an absolute beginner. I just have an excel file (.csv) of my OTU data with different expression values. The purpose is the use this file for phyloseq (shiny-phyloseq) however I am unable to do so because of no training in this area. The detailed reply would be of great help!

thanks

PS. i dont understand the information given in this page. http://qiime.org/scripts/make_otu_table.html
