bold_retriever 0.2.0

It queries the BOLD database to get identification of taxa based on COI sequences

This script accepts FASTA files containing COI sequences. It queries the BOLD database http://boldsystems.org/ in order to get the taxa identification based on the sequences.

Run this way

• clone repository:

  cd $USERAPPL
  git clone https://github.com/carlosp420/bold_retriever.git

• install dependencies:

  cd bold_retriever
  module load biopython-env
  pip install -r requirements.txt

• run software

You have to choose one of the databases available from BOLD http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/resources/api?type=idengine and enter it as argument:

• COX1_SPECIES

• COX1

• COX1_SPECIES_PUBLIC

• COX1_L640bp

For example:

python bold_retriever.py -f ZA2013-0565.fasta -db COX1_SPECIES

• output:
