3 =head1 NAME
5 bp_taxonomy2tree - Building a taxonomic tree based on the full lineages of a set of species names
7 =head1 DESCRIPTION
9 This scripts looks up the provided species names in the NCBI Taxonomy database,
10 retrieves their full lineage and puts them in a Newick taxonomic tree displayed
11 on screen.
13 bp_taxonomy2tree.pl -s Orangutan -s Gorilla -s Chimpanzee -s Human
14 bp_taxonomy2tree.pl -s Orangutan -s Gorilla -s Chimpanzee -s "Homo Sapiens"
16 Can also provide -d to specify the directory to store index files in, -o to
17 specify the location of your NCBI nodes file, and -a for the NCBI names file.
18 Or the option -e to use the web-based Entrez taxonomy database if you do not
19 have the NCBI flatfiles installed.
21 This script requires that the bioperl-run pkg be also installed.
23 Providing the nodes.dmp and names.dmp files from the NCBI Taxonomy
24 dump (see Bio::DB::Taxonomy::flatfile for more info) is only necessary
25 on the first time running. This will create the local indexes and may
26 take quite a long time. However once created, these indexes will
27 allow fast access for species to taxon id OR taxon id to species name
28 lookups.
