ncbi-taxonomist 0.6.3.dev233

Toolbox to manage NCBI taxonomical data

Readme

Status

The basic operations are working and unlikely to change in the near future. Metadata querying is still in development.

Synopsis

ncbi-taxonomist handles and manages phylogenetic data from NCBI. It can:

• map between taxids and names
• resolve lineages for taxidd, names, and accessions
• store obtained taxa and their data locally in a SQLite database
• group taxa into user defined groups (locally)

taxonomist has several simple operations, e.g. map or import, which work together using pipes, e.g. to populate a database, map will fetch data from Entrez and print it to STDOUT while import reads the STDIN to populate a local database. Taxonomic information is obtained from Entrez.

The true strength is to find and link related metadata from other Entrez databases, e.g. fetching data for metagenomic data-sets for specific or diverse group of organisms. It can store phylogenetic groups, e.g. all taxa for a specific project, in a local database.

Install

$pip install ncbi-taxonomist --user

This will fetch and install ncbi-taxonomist and its required dependencies (see below) use for an user (no root required)

Dependencies

ncbi-taxonomist has two dependencies:

• entrezpy: to handle remote requests to NCBI's Entrez databases

  • https://gitlab.com/ncbipy/entrezpy.git
  • https://pypi.org/project/entrezpy/
  • https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btz385

• taxnompy: to parse taxonomic XML files from NCBI

  • https://gitlab.com/ncbipy/taxonompy.git
  • https://pypi.org/project/taxonompy/

These are libraries maintained by myself and rely solely on the Python standard library. Therefore, ncbi-taxonomist is less prone to suffer dependency hell.

Usage

ncbi-taxonomist <command> <options>

Available commands

call without any command or option to get an overview of available commands.

$ ncbi-taxonomist

Command help

To get the usage for a specific command, use:

$ ncbi-taxonomist <command> -h

For example, to see available options for the command map, use:

$ ncbi-taxonomist map -h.

Output

ncbi-taxonist uses line based JSON as output because I have no clue what you want to do with the result. Parsing JSON is trivial since most programming languages have a JSON parse aspert of their standard library. This allows to write quick formatter or viewers reading data directly from STDIN. Example outputs are shown below.

In addition, jq is an excellent tool to filter and manipulate JSON data. An example how to extract attributes from the ncbi-taxonomist map command JSON output can be found in the documentation:

For more jq help, please refer to:

• jq manual
• Matthew Lincoln, "Reshaping JSON with jq," The Programming Historian 5 (2016)

Basic Commands

Examples how ti use the basic commands. It no local database is passed as argument, NCBI's Entrez databases will be queried.

A more elaborate example is shown for the collect command below.

map

map taxonomic information from Entrez phylogeny server or loading a downloaded NCBI Taxonomy database into a local database. Returns taxonomic nodes in JSON.

Map taxid and names

ncbi-taxonomist map -t 562, 10508 -n human

Map sequence accessions

`ncbi-taxonomist map -a MH842226.1 NQWZ01000003.1

resolve

Resolves lineages for names, taxids, and accessions.

Resolve names and taxids remotely:

$ ncbi_taxonomist resolve -n man -t 562

Output:

Accessions have to be mapped prior to resolve.

collect

Collect taxid and names remotely, mainly to collect taxonomic data to store in local database. Does not work on local database.

Collect taxid and names remotely

$ ncbi-taxonomist collect -t 562,10508 -n man, 'Influenza B virus (B/Acre/121609/2012)'

Piping ncbi-commands

An example showing the individual steps and outputs to collect remote taxonomies, store them in local database, and resolve the linages. The last point shows how to use pipes to creta e small taxonomic pipeline.

1. Collect taxa information remotely and import into local database taxa.db

$ ncbi-taxonomist collect -t 562,10508  -n man, 'Influenza B virus (B/Acre/121609/2012)' |  \
  ncbi-taxonomist import -db taxa.db

Output (first couple of lines):

{"taxon_id":10239,"rank":"superkingdom","names":{"Viruses":"scientific_name"},"parent_id":null,"name":"Viruses"}
{"taxon_id":2559587,"rank":null,"names":{"Riboviria":"scientific_name"},"parent_id":10239,"name":"Riboviria"}
{"taxon_id":2497569,"rank":"phylum","names":{"Negarnaviricota":"scientific_name"},"parent_id":2559587,"name":"Negarnaviricota"}
<cut>

2. Test local database:

$ sqlite3 -line taxa.db 'SELECT * FROM taxa;SELECT * FROM names;

3. Resolve lineages from local database:

$ ncbi-taxonomist resolve -t 562,10508 -n man, 'Influenza B virus' -db taxa.db

Output:

Format specific filed from map output to csv using jq

• Extract taxid, rank, and scientific name from map JSON output using jq:

ncbi-taxonomist map -t 2 -n human -r | \
jq -r '[.taxon.taxon_id,.taxon.rank,(.taxon.names|to_entries[]|select(.value=="scientific_name").key)]|@csv'

Subtree to extract lineages and ranks

Subtree can extract whole or partial lineages from any taxid within its lineage. They work currently only with a local database.
