Get taxonomy information

Description

Print out taxonomy information based of taxonomy names or ID numbers.

This tool uses EMBOSS commands taxget, taxgetdown, taxgetdown, and taxgetspecies to retrieve taxonomy information. The Taxon to be studied is defined using scientific name (e.g. mus musculus), taxonomy id number (e.g 10090). I some cases a common English name can be used too (e.q. mouse). There are four different taxonomy information sets that can be retrieved:

By default, this tool produces a table formatted file, but the results can also be produced in EBI, NCBI or TAX formatted text files, that contain more information than the table format.
