Hi, Those who use the NCBI BLAST web site recognize the "Choose Search Set" box. After you select OTHER database and you type - in the Organism edit field - an organism name, similar organism names are listed (autocomplete feature). For example type "Bos t"
Does somebody know which (Entrez?) database are queried and/or parameters used to list the autocompleted names? Sample code maybe?
Cheers

The database is the NCBI Taxononmy database . It is available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/taxonomyhome.html . It can be searched as a web service using the NCBI-EUtilities (see the parameters here) or you can download it from here.
Check this url
http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/corecgi/ajax/ajax.fcgi?dict=taxids_sg&q=mouse&$svc$=ac
Where:
dict=taxids_sg- taxids_sg dictionaryq- your query$svc$=ac- autocomplete service
But I didn't find any public documentation about this service.
