Yet another Python library to work with taxonomy databases

Project description

Parse and query different taxonomic databases

Aims

  • Work with taxonomic databases from data dump flatfiles.
  • Load them directly into memory for queries and other operations.
  • Use same internal data structures and methods for different source DBs.
  • Report output as far as possible with DwC terms.

Such functionality is available with the R package taxadb, but we wish to work in Python with few dependencies as possible.

Databases supported

  • NCBI Taxonomy (names.dmp and nodes.dmp file from taxdump)
  • GBIF Backbone Taxonomy (Taxon.tsv file from backbone dump)
