In bioinformatics, some files hold information about taxonomy - this is a biogem for parsing some of them. Currently supported:
- IMG (Integrated Microbial Genomics) taxonomy files.
That's all for the moment, greengenes will probably be the next one.
Note: this software is under active development!
gem install bio-taxonomy_definition_files
require 'bio-taxonomy_definition_files'
The API doc is online. For more code examples see the test files in the source tree.
