EBITaxonomy Search By Name
Search for organisms by any name (scientific, common, or synonym) in EBI Taxonomy. Unlike scientific name lookup, this accepts common names like 'mouse', 'fruit fly', or 'baker's yeast'. Returns matching taxa with their IDs, scientific names, and lineage. Example: 'mouse' returns Mus musculus (10090) and Mus (10088).
