Function Index NCBI taxonomy using b+tree indices Description dbxflat indexes NCBI taxonomy files, and builds EMBOSS B+tree format index files. These indexes allow access of flat files larger than 2Gb. Usage Here is a sample session with dbxtax % dbxtax Index NCBI taxonomy using b+tree indices Basename for index files [taxon]: Resource name [taxresource]: Database directory [.]: taxonomy id : ID acc : Synonym tax : Scientific name rnk : Rank up : Parent gc : Genetics code mgc : Mitochondrial genetic code Index fields [*]: Compressed index files [Y]: General log output file [outfile.dbxtax]: Go to the output files for this example Command line arguments Index NCBI taxonomy using b+tree indices Version: EMBOSS:6.4.0.0 Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers: [-dbname] string [taxon] Basename for index files (Any string from 2 to 19 characters, matching regular expression /[A-z][A-z0-9_]+/) [-dbresource] string [taxresource] Resource name (Any string from 2 to 19 characters, matching regular expression /[A-z][A-z0-9_]+/) -directory directory [.] Database directory -fields menu [*] Index fields (Values: id (ID); acc (Synonym); tax (Scientific name); rnk (Rank); up (Parent); gc (Genetics code); mgc (Mitochondrial genetic code)) -[no]compressed boolean [Y] Compressed index files -outfile outfile [*.dbxtax] General log output file Additional (Optional) qualifiers: (none) Advanced (Unprompted) qualifiers: -release string [0.0] Release number (Any string up to 9 characters) -date string [00/00/00] Index date (Date string dd/mm/yy) -indexoutdir outdir [.] Index file output directory Associated qualifiers: "-directory" associated qualifiers -extension string Default file extension "-indexoutdir" associated qualifiers -extension string Default file extension "-outfile" associated qualifiers -odirectory string Output directory General qualifiers: -auto boolean Turn off prompts -stdout boolean Write first file to standard output -filter boolean Read first file from standard input, write first file to standard output -options boolean Prompt for standard and additional values -debug boolean Write debug output to program.dbg -verbose boolean Report some/full command line options -help boolean Report command line options and exit. More information on associated and general qualifiers can be found with -help -verbose -warning boolean Report warnings -error boolean Report errors -fatal boolean Report fatal errors -die boolean Report dying program messages -version boolean Report version number and exit Input file format dbxtax reads and indexes the NCBI taxonomy nodes.dmp, names.dmp, division.dmp, gencode.dmp,and merged.dmp files. Output file format dbxtax creates one summary file for the database and two files for each field indexed. * dbalias.ent is the master file containing the names of the files that have been indexed. It is an ASCII file. This file also contains the database release and date information. * dbalias.xid is the B+tree index file for the ID names. It is a binary file. * dbalias.pxid is an ASCII file containing information regarding the structure of the ID name index.
