Species alternative ID? #2

Open yejunbin opened 5 years ago

yejunbin commented 5 years ago

Hi, Which database the "species_alt_id" belong to? Can it be mapped to the NCBI taxonomy ID?

snayfach commented 5 years ago

No it is just an alternate id internal to the database. There is not a 1:1 mapping with species in the NCBI.
