+includes basic tools for reading biom-format files, accessing and subsetting
+data tables from a biom object (which is more complex than a single table), as
+well as limited support for writing a biom-object back to a biom-format file.
+The design of this API is intended to match the Python API and other tools
+included with the biom-format project, but with a decidedly \"R flavor\" that
+should be familiar to R users.  This includes S4 classes and methods, as well
+as extensions of common core functions/methods.")
