[Bioperl-l] Taxonomy hierarchy extraction

[George Heller]

Thanks. And how can I assign the $node here in the below code, such that I can reference it to a particular taxon id record? I want to retrieve all the descendents from the taxonomy hierarchy, given a particular taxon id. 
   
  I have a local db setup, in which I have uploaded data using the load_ncbi_taxonomy.pl script. 
   
  Thanks.

  You just want the extant species/leaves of the tree
  

my @extant_children = grep { $_->is_Leaf } $node->get_all_Descedents;

    Hi all,
  

    Can anyone point me to some example that uses the get_all_Descendents method from Bio::DB::Taxonomy? I am a newbie at this, and I am not quite sure how to implement it. 
  

    Thanks.

  I am looking at extracting the taxonomy hierarchy for some taxon ids.
  What I plan to do is, for a given taxon id, say 33090, I want to
  extract all taxon ids that are children of this species. I do not
  just want the immediate children, but the children's children and so
  on.
  

  Any ideas on the way I can go about doing this?
  

  Well, you'll use Bio::DB::Taxonomy presumably, and each_Descendent in
  some kind of looping structure. Most easily a recursing sub.
  

  If you happen to code up something neat and efficient, why not share it 
  with us and we could add it to the Taxonomy module(s).
