I am using same table with biojava and bioperl taxon program and the
output I get is below:
*Biojava:*
For example for ncbi_taxon_id = 11876 (Avian sarcoma virus), the lineage
i get is
Rhamnus; Platanus occidentalis; Suillus placidus; Diadasia
australis; Arnicastrum guerrerense; Labiduridae; Oreostemma alpigenum
var. haydenii.
Biojava process of finding names:
11876==>3019252==>50447==>176516==>143975==>48579==>4403==>3609==>276240
(wrong way of doing things)
*Bioperl:*
For example for ncbi_taxon_id = 11876 (Avian sarcoma virus), the lineage
i get is
Retroviridae; Orthoretrovirinae; Alpharetrovirus;
unclassified Alpharetrovirus.
Bioperl process of finding names:
11876==>353825==>153057==>327045==>11632 (Right way of doing things)
Hint: biojava search ncbi_taxon_id column with a value from
parent_taxon_id where bioperl search taxon_id column with a value from
parent_taxon_id.
*Taxon and Taxon_name Table content which is being relevant in discussion:*

I'm sorry but I don't understand your example. Could you provide a real example
of correct values for each column from a sample taxon entry in NCBI, plus an
example of what BioJava is doing wrong? (i.e. give a sample record to use as
reference, then point out the correct value of parent_taxon_id, and point out
what value BioJava is using instead).
thanks,
Richard

Hi,
Their is very fundamental issue in SimpleNCBITaxon class becuase of which it is
producing wrong taxonomy hierarchy. I am explaing what I have found let me what
you guys think of it, and me suggest how to fix it.
1) Columns in taxon table are (taxon_id, ncbi_taxon_id, parent_taxon_id,
nodeRank, geneticCode, mitoGeneticCode, leftValue, rightValue)
2) In the class SimpleNCBITaxon we are thinking "parent_taxon_id" to have parent ncbi_taxon_id for
current ncbi_taxon_id value, but its not true. The value which "parent_taxon_id" have is
"taxon_id" which have parent_ncbi_taxon_id of current ncbi_taxon_id.
<property name="NCBITaxID" column="ncbi_taxon_id" node="@NCBITaxId"/>
<property name="nodeRank" column="node_rank"/>
<property name="geneticCode" column="genetic_code"/>
<property name="mitoGeneticCode" column="mito_genetic_code"/>
<property name="leftValue" column="left_value"/>
<property name="rightValue" column="right_value"/>
<property name="parentNCBITaxID" column="parent_taxon_id"/> ----- its not
correct column parent_taxon_id stores the taxon_id which have parent_ncbi_taxon_id for current entry
