Search and return recorded synonyms #34

Open DomBennett opened 10 years ago

Would it be possible to search and return alternative names? e.g. a search in NCBI via GNR for 'Alopex lagopus' returns nothing even though NCBI records it as a synonym for 'Vulpes lagopus'.

Many thanks, Dom

Sounds like a good idea. We can add an option like 'with_synonyms=true' and do return known synonyms.

That would be incredible! Many thanks!
