We could use a function that confirms a few things about the input metadata and biom tables.

Post here if there's specific things you want this function to do

gauravsk commented

Minimum set for now:

  1. Input biom table should have column names.
  2. One (and only one) column should be named 'sum.taxonomy'
  3. The "xxx_seq_number" column, if it ever existed, should have been removed
  4. All columns apart from sum.taxonomy should be numeric
  5. All columns apart from sum.taxonomy should have corresponding row in metadata file

Maybe should start a new issue for a function that validates sample metadata file; otherwise this is done
