Thanks @zachary-foster
Sounds good to me - you want someone else to do the R bit or did you want to? - happy to help
Cool. I would not mind doing it, but I will not have time for a while probably and, since I got the python script to work for my immediate needs, it is not a priority for me right now. I was mostly just posting this as a record of the idea in case anyone else wanted to do it or if I had time to do it in the future.
Cool, thanks.
If anyone wants to do this go for it - I may do at some point if no one else does.
If you do get around to fungi, we'll have a growing set of fungal trait data here: https://github.com/traitecoevo/fungaltraits
should be eventually linked to unite, index fungorum, and funguild if everything goes as planned.
thx @wcornwell ! just submitted a new ver of this pkg to CRAN - will try to get to funguild soon
This repository is about to be archived.
I was recently working with a python script for looking up attributes of fungal species called funguild.
https://github.com/UMNFuN/FUNGuild
This python script expects a table with a column named "taxonomy" formatted in the UNITE taxonomy format (e.g. kFungi.pBasidiomycota.cAgaricomycetes.oAgaricales.fStrophariaceae.gPsilocybe.s__Psilocybe_semilanceata). It calls the following API:
http://www.stbates.org/funguild_db.php
and returns info like:
The python script works ok, but I dont like how it needs a whole table in a specific format when it just uses one column.
Would this be something traits could/should implement? An R solution would be welcome! Thanks
