[Bioperl-l] Lineage from GB files

[Surya Saha]

Hi Adlai,

It really depends on what items are present the Genbank/EMBL. You can use
the NCBI Taxonomy database and Taxonomy
modules<http://search.cpan.org/search?query=taxonomy&mode=all> in
CPAN to identify the taxonomic hierarchy of an accession, for e.g., you can
map the GI to Taxonomy ID and extract the taxonomy
using Bio::LITE::Taxonomy::NCBI.

Here's a script<https://github.com/hyphaltip/mobedac-fungi/blob/master/scripts/taxonomy.pl>
(not
authored by me) on Github that might get you started.
