GTDB Get Taxon Info
Get information about a GTDB taxon including its rank, total genome count, higher-rank lineage, and release history. GTDB uses rank prefixes: d__ (domain), p__ (phylum), c__ (class), o__ (order), f__ (family), g__ (genus), s__ (species). For example, f__Lachnospiraceae returns its rank (Family), genome count, and lineage (Bacteria > Bacillota > Clostridia > Lachnospirales). Also returns the full lineage breakdown from domain to species. Useful for understanding where a taxon fits in the GTDB tr…
Overview
Get information about a GTDB taxon including its rank, total genome count, higher-rank lineage, and release history. GTDB uses rank prefixes: d__ (domain), p__ (phylum), c__ (class), o__ (order), f__ (family), g__ (genus), s__ (species). For example, f__Lachnospiraceae returns its rank (Family), genome count, and lineage (Bacteria > Bacillota > Clostridia > Lachnospirales). Also returns the full lineage breakdown from domain to species. Useful for understanding where a taxon fits in the GTDB tree and how many genomes support it.
