Strains file

This file is read by canto_load.pl --strains and has three to five columns:

  • Ncbi taxon species ID
  • species common name (ignored so can be empty)
  • strain cultivar / name
  • strain abbreviation (optional)
  • synonyms - this field should be comma separated and quoted (optional)

The abbreviation of an existing strain will be replace by the contents of the strain abbreviation field. If the field is empty the abbreviation will be removed.

Synonyms of an existing strain will be replaced by the contents of the synonyms field. If it is empty, all synonyms are removed.

The first line is a row of columns header that should start with the string "NcbiTaxSpeciesId"
