GoaT no longer reporting results for certain taxon IDs #103

Open andrew-varley opened 1 day ago

andrew-varley commented 1 day ago

Describe the bug Previously GoaT has reported results for certain taxonomy IDs and now it isn't. Cibele said they may have been merged. I would expect to still see a result when searching for the original taxonomy ID though so we can update genome size/legislation/etc.

To Reproduce Here are a couple of affected species: 114452 Bathymodiolus childressi - 1541669 Eurhopalus vespulae -

Expected behavior A record to be returned when searching for those IDs (with the ID that has been searched for, not the merged ID)

HI Andrew,

I can confirm that these tax IDs have been merged.

We should be able to handle this in GoaT by including the old ID in the list of names associated with the current ID, so searches on the old ID would return a result. This way tax_name(old ID) or tax_name(current ID) will both return a result with current ID in the taxon_id field.
