adding host to sql db description #7

Open gregoruar opened 4 years ago

gregoruar commented 4 years ago

First of all, huge thanks for assembling and maintaining such db of viral sequences. Secondly, I would really appreciate if the field 'host' could be added to the db columns. I know that it may take time, in this case maybe you could give me a hint, how I can extract this information myself from the available dbs?

RVDB has no embedded host information. You may fetch the host information by NCBI Efetch utility.

@gregoruar did you end up getting the host information using NCBI efetch? I saw a coding using R, but I was wondering how efficient it is?
