Bio::Community::TaxonomyUtils - Functions for manipulating taxonomic lineages
use Bio::Community::TaxonomyUtils qw(split_lineage_string get_lineage_string); my $lineage = 'Bacteria;WCHB1-60;unidentified'; my $lineage_arr = split_lineage_string($lineage); $lineage = get_lineage_string($lineage_arr); print "Lineage is: $lineage\n"; # Bacteria;WCHB1-60
This module implements functions to manipulate taxonomic lineages, as arrayref of taxon names or taxon objects.

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list, bioperl-l@bioperl.org, rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.
If you have found a bug, please report it on the BioPerl bug tracking system to help us keep track the bugs and their resolution: https://redmine.open-bio.org/projects/bioperl/

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
Function: Split a lineage string, clean it and autodetect whitespaces. Use the ';' separator is used to split lineages like 'Bacteria; Proteobacteria' into an arrayref of its individual components, e.g. ['Bacteria','Proteobact']. The number and type of spaces after the separator is saved for future use in get_lineage_string(), the reciprocal function. Also, optionally clean the arrayref using clean_lineage_arr(). Usage : my $taxa_names = split_lineage($lineage_string); Args : * a lineage string * whether to clean taxonomy or not (default is to clean) Returns : an arrayref of taxon names
Function: Two step cleanup: 1/ At the beginning of the array, remove anything called 'Root' 2/ Starting from the end of the array, remove ambiguous taxonomic information such as: '', 'No blast hit', 'unidentified', 'uncultured', 'environmental', 'Other', 'g__', 's__', etc Usage : $lineage_arr = clean_lineage_arr($lineage_arr); Args : A lineage arrayref (either taxon names or objects) Returns : A lineage arrayref
Function: Take a taxon object and return its lineage as an arrayref of the taxon itself, preceded by its ancestor taxa. Usage : my $lineage_arr = get_taxon_lineage($taxon); Args : A taxon object Returns : An arrayref of taxon names
Function: Take a lineage arrayref and return a full lineage string by joining the elements using the ';' separator. The opposite operation is split_lineage_string(). Usage : my $lineage = get_lineage_string(['Bacteria', 'Proteobacteria']); or my $lineage = get_lineage_string([$taxon1, $taxon2]); Args : * Arrayref of taxon names or objects * Optional: whitespace string to include after separator (omit to autodetect) Returns : A lineage string
