Taxadb is not being maintained anymore #98

Open HadrienG opened 3 years ago

HadrienG commented 3 years ago

Hi folks,

Having switched fields for my postdoc, I have no use for taxadb for the foreseeable future and unfortunately do not have the time to maintain a n unpublished tool that I don't use.

I don't exclude maintain this in the future should I work on bacteria/metagenomics again. Anyone is of course welcome to fork taxadb, but PR in this repository will not be merged.

Best, Hadrien

Thank you for your work writing this tool!

For anyone coming across this now who needs another solution, I just wanted to note that the ETE library has similar functionality that might be useful: http://etetoolkit.org/docs/latest/tutorial/tutorial_ncbitaxonomy.html
