Where to find archived NCBI taxonomy file

Hi all,

I am curious whether or not there is archived NCBI taxonomy lineage file(names.dmp and nodes.dmp). I know I can download the newest version from NCBI taxonomy. But I am interested in some old version. Because they updated that database quickly.

assembly genome taxonomy metagenomic

Hi natasha,

Thanks for help. Sorry for not clearly ask my question. I am actually the historical lineage information(should be names.dmp and node.dmp files), like when some phylum, class, order, family, genus and species added into the database.

You should email NCBI Help desk and ask them about this. I don't think this information is likely to be available on NCBI web site.

Ok. Thanks for your suggestion
