NAME

Bio::Community::IO::Driver::generic - Driver to read and write files in a generic tab-delimited site-by-species table format

SYNOPSIS

my $in = Bio::Community::IO->new( -file => 'gaas_communities.txt', -format => 'generic' );

# See Bio::Community::IO for more information

DESCRIPTION

This Bio::Community::IO::Driver::generic driver reads and writes files in a generic format. Multiple communities can be written in a file to generate a site-by- species table (OTU table), in which the entries are tab-delimited. Example:

Species	site A	site B
species 1	321	94
species 2	0	58
species 3	47	26

For each Bio::Community::Member $member generated from a generic site-by-species file, $member->desc() contains the content of the species field. Since the generic format does not specify a member ID, one is automatically generated and can be retrieved using $member->id().

CONSTRUCTOR
