# BioPerl module for Bio::DB::Taxonomy::entrez
#
# Please direct questions and support issues to <bioperl-l@bioperl.org>
#
# Cared for by Jason Stajich <jason-at-bioperl.org>
#
# Copyright Jason Stajich

# You may distribute this module under the same terms as perl itself

# POD documentation - main docs before the code

=head1 NAME

Bio::DB::Taxonomy::entrez - Taxonomy Entrez driver

=head1 SYNOPSIS

# Do not use this object directly, rather through the Bio::DB::Taxonomy
# interface

  use Bio::DB::Taxonomy;

  my $db = Bio::DB::Taxonomy->new(-source => 'entrez');

  my $taxonid = $db->get_taxonid('Homo sapiens');
  my $node   = $db->get_Taxonomy_Node(-taxonid => $taxonid);

  my $gi = 71836523;
  my $node = $db->get_Taxonomy_Node(-gi => $gi, -db => 'protein');
  print $node->binomial, "\n";
  my ($species,$genus,$family) =  $node->classification;
  print "family is $family\n";

  # Can also go up 4 levels
  my $p = $node;
  for ( 1..4 ) {
    $p = $db->get_Taxonomy_Node(-taxonid => $p->parent_id);
  }
  print $p->rank, " ", ($p->classification)[0], "\n";

  # could then classify a set of BLAST hits based on their GI numbers
  # into taxonomic categories.


It is not currently possibly to query a node for its children so we
cannot completely replace the advantage of the flatfile
Bio::DB::Taxonomy::flatfile module.


=head1 DESCRIPTION

A driver for querying NCBI Entrez Taxonomy database.

=head1 FEEDBACK

=head2 Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to
the Bioperl mailing list.  Your participation is much appreciated.

  bioperl-l@bioperl.org                  - General discussion
  http://bioperl.org/wiki/Mailing_lists  - About the mailing lists

=head2 Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

I<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
with code and data examples if at all possible.

=head2 Reporting Bugs

Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track
of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via
the web:

=head2 new

 Title   : new
 Usage   : my $obj = Bio::DB::Taxonomy::entrez->new();
 Function: Builds a new Bio::DB::Taxonomy::entrez object
 Returns : an instance of Bio::DB::Taxonomy::entrez
 Args    : -location => URL to Entrez (if you want to override the default)
           -params   => Hashref of URL params if you want to override the

=head2 get_taxon

 Title   : get_taxon
 Usage   : my $taxon = $db->get_taxon(-taxonid => $taxonid)
 Function: Get a Bio::Taxon object from the database.
 Returns : Bio::Taxon object
 Args    : just a single value which is the database id, OR named args:
           -taxonid => taxonomy id (to query by taxonid)

            OR
           To retrieve a taxonomy node for a GI number provide the -gi option
           with the gi number and -db with either 'nucleotide' or 'protein' to
           define the db.
            AND optionally,
           -full    => 1 (to force retrieval of full information - sometimes
                          minimal information about your taxon may have been
