This is an R package that provides classes to store and manipulate
taxonomic data. Most of the classes can be used like base R vectors.
This project is a partial rewrite of the previous version of
taxa
and is currently under development.
A note about recent changes:
This is beginning of a complete rewrite of the previous
taxa
package to make the more basic component classes more
like base R vectors. The taxmap
class is not yet
reimplemented, but will be similar to the class in the previous versions
of taxa. The old version of taxa
has been incorporated into
the metacoder
package until this version of taxa is mature,
at which time metacoder
will also use this version.
