\description{
The method \code{extracts.obiclean} of the class \code{\linkS4class{metabarcoding.data}}
extracts \code{obiclean} results from the MOTUs descriptions include in the 
\code{\linkS4class{metabarcoding.data}} instance. 
When an \code{obitab} file is imported using the \code{\link{import.metabarcoding.data}}
if \code{obiclean} results are present in the file they are stored in the 
\code{motu} data.frame. By calling this methods, MOTU descriptors describing 
the \code{obiclean} status are moved to a set of layers.
}
\examples{

# load termite data set from the ROBITools sample data
data(termes)

# shows the initial list of layer names
layer.names(t)

# extracts the obiclean status
termes = extracts.obiclean(termes)

# shows the name of the newly created layers
layer.names(t)
