Bio::DB::Taxonomy::greengenes - Use the Greengenes taxonomy
use Bio::DB::Taxonomy;
my $db = Bio::DB::Taxonomy->new(
-source => 'greengenes',
-taxofile => 'taxonomy_16S_candiv_gg_2011_1.txt'
);
This module is in beta. Its interface or its results may change in a future update.
Bio::DB::Taxonomy::greengenes is an implementation of Bio::DB::Taxonomy which stores and accesses the Greengenes taxonomy of Bacteria and Archaea. Internally, it keeps the taxonomy into memory by using Bio::DB::Taxonomy::list. As a consequence, note that the IDs assigned to the taxonomy nodes, e.g. gg123, are arbitrary, contrary to the pre-defined IDs that NCBI assigns to taxons.
The latest release of the Greengene taxonomy (2011) contains about 4,600 taxa and occupies about 4MB of memory once parsed into a Bio::DB::Taxonomy::greengenes object. The taxonomy files taxonomy_16S_all_gg_2011_1.txt and taxonomy_16S_candiv_gg_2011_1.txt that this module can use are available from <http://www.secondgenome.com/go/2011-greengenes-taxonomy/>.
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.
