rotifer.db.local

Access biological data stored on the local machine.

This package groups the cursors that never touch the network: rotifer.db.local.easel fetches sequences from FASTA files indexed by Easel’s esl-sfetch and rotifer.db.local.ete3 queries the local copy of the NCBI Taxonomy database managed by the ETE toolkit.

Configuration

The default sequence database path is read from the user configuration (key local_database_path) and falls back to fadb/nr/nr under the directory named by the ROTIFER_DATA environment variable.
