UniProtTaxonomy Get Taxon
Get detailed taxonomy information for a species by NCBI taxonomy ID from UniProt. Returns scientific name, common name, taxonomic rank, mnemonic code, full lineage (up to 30 levels), and protein statistics (reviewed/unreviewed counts). Essential for cross-referencing species in protein databases and understanding taxonomic relationships. Example: taxon 9606 returns Homo sapiens (Human), rank=species, mnemonic=HUMAN, 20,432 reviewed proteins (Swiss-Prot), 184,812 unreviewed (TrEMBL), with lineag…
