Easily updatable local NCBI taxonomy database copy
Project description
NtMirror
NtMirror is a tool for creating and keeping up-to-date a local mirror of the NCBI Taxonomy database.
Requirements
The software is distributed as a Python 3 package.
An installation by pip is only possible, if the mariadb
module is installed (which requires installation of MariaDB
and its C and Python connectors).
In MariaDB, the database data loading is performed using the
mysql library and not using SqlAlchemy, since the loading is faster.
Adapting to other RDBMS
NtMirror has been developed and tested using MariaDB as RDBMS. However, database data loading using SqlAlchemy was also implemented, so that the software can be used or easily adapted to other RDBMS supported by SqlAlchemy.
