How to prepare NCBI taxonomy for Galaxy Metagenomic Toolkit
-----------------------------------------------------------
1. run runTest.sh
If this script produces NO messages -> everything is OK
2. run processRaxonomy.sh
This script does several things:
- downloads taxonomy dump tarball from NCBI ftp site
- downloads very large gi2taxId files for nucleotide and protein entries of GenBank
- runs a series of 3 python scripts on these files
- creates a sqlite database called taxonomy.db (you can use sqlite to explore this database)
- this database is used by /tools/metag/tax.py tool to convert gi's into full taxonomic representation
3. move taxonomy.db into /static/taxonomy/
Taxonomy ranks
--------------
These scripts consider the following taxonomic ranks:
1 root
2 superkingdom
3 kingdom
4 subkingdom
5 superphylum
6 phylum
7 subphylum
8 superclass
9 class
10 subclass
11 superorder
12 order
13 suborder
14 superfamily
15 family
16 subfamily
17 tribe
18 subtribe
19 genus
20 subgenus
21 species
22 subspecies
