TaxID mapping file_question #132

Open LadaJov opened 3 months ago

Hi guys,

I am not very proficient in bioinformatics and I would like to use this tools.

Can anyone please explain how do I get TaxID mapping file for NR or Uniprot database?

Background: I want to use Diamond for my de novo transcriptome annotation as it seems to be faster than NCBI BLAST. My next goal is to use hits.tsvfile in blobtools for contamination detection. To do that I need my query transcript IDs with the corresponding subject TaxID in hits.tsv file. Diamond doesn't give that information but I as I can see I can use blobtools taxifyoption to match corresponding TaxidIDs to my subject hits. I read blobtools documentation and to do that I need TaxID mapping file for the database that I used for annotation and that file consists of information such as.

Thank you in advance!
