NAME

       bp_local_taxonomydb_query - query a local TaxonomyDB for species or taxonid

DESCRIPTION

       This script provides an example implementation of access to a local Taxonomy database implemented with
       Berkeley DB (DB_File module is needed).

       Usage:

        bp_local_taxonomydb_query.PLS: [-v] --nodes nodes.dmp --names names.dmp "Genus1 species1" "Genus2 species2"

       Providing the nodes.dmp and names.dmp files from the NCBI Taxonomy dump (see Bio::DB::Taxonomy::flatfile
       for more info) is only necessary on the first time running.  This will create the local indexes and may
       take quite a long time.  However once created, these indexes will allow fast access for species to taxon
       id OR taxon id to species name lookups.
