How to get Taxonomy and Taxon ID for an Accession number using R/Python?

Hello,

I have a database which contains Taxonomy and Taxon ID for each Accession Number. The database already has millions of accession numbers and their corresponding taxonomy and taxon ID. But the database is not complete yet. This database is being used to assign taxonomy to blast results. I am planning to complete the database by collecting the accession numbers which are not found in my local database in each blast search.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me how I can retrieve taxonomy and taxon ID of some accession numbers from NCBI using R or python?

Thanks

r python accession numer taxonomy

For R, check the taxonomizr package.

I already know about this package, but I do not want to download a complete database. My intention is to complete my existing database. Thanks anyways.

I have been writing an R package to deal with taxonomy mapping for blast outcome. The package is in very initial stage. However, there are functions which can solve your problem. You can install package using devtools::install_github("cparsania/phyloR").

See the example below

    library(phyloR)

    x <- c("XP_022900619.1", "XP_022900618.1", "XP_018333511.1", "XP_018573075.1")
    ## get ncbi taxon id for accession 
    genbank2uid_tbl(x = x)
    #> No ENTREZ API key provided
    #>  Get one via taxize::use_entrez()
    #> See https://ncbiinsights.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2017/11/02/new-api-keys-for-the-e-utilities/

    #>   <chr>  <chr>  <chr> <chr> <lgl>            <lgl>         <chr>    <chr>

    #> 2 XP_02… 166361 uid   found FALSE            FALSE         https:/… trypsi…
    #> 3 XP_01… 224129 uid   found FALSE            FALSE         https:/… trypsi…
    #> 4 XP_01… 217634 uid   found FALSE            FALSE         https:/… trypsi…

    ## Get phylogenetic rank for a given ncbi taxonomy id.

    phyloR::get_taxon_rank(gid_to_taxid$taxid , rank = "kingdom") 
   #> ● Starting rank search...

   #> 3 217634      Metazoa 33208      kingdom

You can define taxonomic level in rank argument to get specific level taxonomy for a given taxon id
