otu_table-class {phyloseq} | R Documentation

## The S4 class for storing taxa-abundance information.

### Description

Because orientation of these tables can vary by method, the orientation is defined explicitly in the `taxa_are_rows` slot (a logical). The `otu_table` class inherits the `matrix` class to store abundance values. Various standard subset and assignment nomenclature has been extended to apply to the `otu_table` class, including square-bracket, `t`, etc.

### Details

taxa_are_rows

  A single logical specifying the orientation of the abundance table.
