also,

Todd Desantis says that one can download all sequences here: http://greengenes.lbl.gov/Download/Sequence_Data/Greengenes_format/greengenes16SrRNAgenes.txt.gz and infer taxonomy from lineages.

If it seems feasible, allow user to choose between NCBI and greengenes taxonomies in taxit.

@nhoffman: the 45-greengenes-taxonomy branch is making a database using the file @matsen pointed me to: http://greengenes.lbl.gov/Download/Sequence_Data/Fasta_data_files/Caporaso_Reference_OTUs/gg_otus_4feb2011.tgz

There's no NCBI taxonomy information, at present.

No plans to do this at this point
