This would be a great thing to implement, but @rorygibb and I may want to go back to the drawing board on what findSyns does and update the function a bit. It should also probably be implemented once in the final VIRION file - and maybe, even then, just as an extra column in the HostTaxonomy dissolved file.
(When this is implemented or otherwise addressed, HostSynonyms field should be removed from the universal format in the upstream parts of the pipeline)
