DESCRIPTION: | TaxSimple is a database table which allows fast and easy taxonomy related queries built upon even distant tree nodes. The TaxSimple building script downloads the NCBI's flat TXT files containing taxonomic information and transforms it into a table of fourteen columns. In order to accomplish this task, it discards non popular and 'no rank' clades, then building a simpler taxonomic hierachy, based only on the most popular nodes. It includes the thirteen columns (each for a rank) plus a latest column named “genome” which holds the taxonomic ID of the sequenced organism (species, subspecies, strain, etc.). |

OBS: | TaxSimple is not distributed as Web service but as a SQL script containing the create table command. As new versions of NCBI taxonomy database are released, TaxSimple will be updated and made available on this page. |
