  • Mapping species name back to taxonomy database to get higher taxonomic classification

    Hi,

    I'm new to bioinformatics and have a problem with getting taxonomic information for my contig database.

    Currently I have a file that has all the contigs IDs with their taxonomic assignment to the species level as the output of an annotation pipeline. However, for another analysis, I want to group all the contigs by their higher taxonomic level, like family or order. How can I retrieve the higher taxonomic information through the species names?

    Does anyone know a tool that can map the species name to NCBI taxonomy database and output the higher taxonomic level name information?

    For example, when the input is Escherichia coli, the output would be: (in a table), Bacteria, Proteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, Enterobacteriales, Enterobacteriaceae, Escherichia.

    Thanks.

    Higher Taxonomic Classification

    Hi Olivia
    Try www.biolists.com.
    It's new, so the database needs pumping up, but basic higher classification is available - mostly from Genus-level searches, otherwise from Families. The aim is all species with Common Names!
    Cheers, Cedric

      Hi,
      Old thread, but I'm also interested in Olivia's topic.
      This is typical for a metagenomic data set.
      I did not see bacterial names at BioLists, suggested by Cedric.
      Any other help?
      Thanks.

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
