Bio::DB::Taxonomy::silva - Use the Silva taxonomy
use Bio::DB::Taxonomy;
my $db = Bio::DB::Taxonomy->new(
-source => 'silva',
-taxofile => 'SSURef_108_tax_silva_trunc.fasta',
);
This is an implementation of Bio::DB::Taxonomy which stores and accesses the Silva taxonomy. Internally, Bio::DB::Taxonomy::silva 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. sv72, are arbitrary, contrary to the pre-defined IDs that NCBI assigns to taxons. Note also that no rank names or common names are assigned to the taxa of Bio::DB::Taxonomy::silva.
The latest Silva taxonomy (2011) contains about 126,000 taxa and occupies about 124 MB of memory once parsed into a Bio::DB::Taxonomy::silva object. Obviously, it can take a little while to load.
The taxonomy file SSURef_108_tax_silva_trunc.fasta that this module uses is available from <http://www.arb-silva.de/no_cache/download/archive/release_108/Exports/>.
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.
