bp_taxonomy2tree - Building a taxonomic tree based on the full lineages of a set
of species names
This scripts looks up the provided species names in the NCBI Taxonomy database,
retrieves their full lineage and puts them in a Newick taxonomic tree
displayed on screen.
bp_taxonomy2tree.pl -s Orangutan -s Gorilla -s Chimpanzee -s Human
bp_taxonomy2tree.pl -s Orangutan -s Gorilla -s Chimpanzee -s "Homo Sapiens"
Can also provide -d to specify the directory to store index files in, -o to
specify the location of your NCBI nodes file, and -a for the NCBI names file.
Or the option -e to use the web-based Entrez taxonomy database if you do not
have the NCBI flatfiles installed.
This script requires that the bioperl-run pkg be also installed.
Providing the nodes.dmp and names.dmp files from the NCBI Taxonomy dump (see
Bio::DB::Taxonomy::flatfile for more info) is only necessary on the first time
running. This will create the local indexes and may take quite a long time.
However once created, these indexes will allow fast access for species to
taxon id OR taxon id to species name lookups.
