Hello,
I have troubles with the gbresolve function from the *geiger *package,
which works with the NCBI taxonomy.
When I use it, there are genera that are not found although they *do appear
*in the NCBI taxonomy browser.
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/taxonomyhome.html/>
for example, when I run:
library("ape")
library("geiger")
genus = "Christia"
gbresolve(genus, rank= "genus", within = "Fabaceae")
("Christia" is a genus within a plants group called Fabaceae)
I get:
Error in tmp[[idx]] : subscript out of bounds
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In FUN(X[[i]], ...) : Attempt one of the following:
Bacterium purifaciens Christiansen 1917
...
...
2: In gbresolve.default(genus, rank = "genus", within = "Fabaceae") :
The following taxa were not encountered in the NCBI taxonomy:
Christia
And so for other genera such as "Pycnospora" / "Solori" / "Thailentadopsis"
and more.
You can see that "Christia" appears in browser
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi>, and so I expect
to get "Christia vespertilionis" as result.
Why is that?
Thank you very much!
Nomi
