Works perfectly. Thanks so much Jason, Hilmar, Chris. You've been a great help!
   
  Thanks.

  The files are indexes because you are indexing a flatfile - this speeds up the lookup so the second time you run the script it doesn't have to index.  You don't need to look at the files, they won't make sense to a human!
  

  The reason it isn't printing anything is someone didn't really write the implementation quite right. This code was overhauled by Sendu before the last release I guess something didn't quite get connected. 
  

  I checked in code that has the Bio::Taxon delegating now to a DB handle for the each_Descendent call.
  You can either patch your code  or just use the code listed here:

    #!/usr/bin/perl

    You get to decide what you want to do with them. In the following example I print the id, rank, and scientific name out to the screen.  
    Because this is a taxonomy db query you are getting back Bio::Taxonomy::Taxon objects so read the documentation for this module to see what you can do with the object.
      I would also suggest spending a little time with the Getting started and HOWTO:Trees documentation on the website to get familiar with the objects and nomenclature.
  

  

  

  

    my @extant_children = grep { $_->is_Leaf } $node->get_all_Descendents;
  

  

    for my $child ( @extant_children ) {
        print "id is ", $child->id, "\n"; # NCBI taxa id
      print "rank is ", $child->rank, "\n"; # e.g. species
      print "scientific name is ", $child->scientific_name, "\n"; # scientific name
    }

      Ok, I installed the latest of Scalar::Util and the script seems to be working. But I am confused where exactly I need to look for the descendent taxon ids once the script is run. I did look into the /tmp/ directory, but I couldnt understand much. 
  

  

      Sorry to be bothering, really appreaciate your patience.

        As the error implies your local version of perl doesn't seem support
      weak references, which means it doesn't have Scalar::Utils (which was
      added to core after perl 5.6.1, I think). Try installing
      Scalar::Utils to see what happens.

      I'm a bit confused - it sounds like you have set up a local

      database and loaded the NCBI taxonomy into the database. You can 
      now
      use simple SQL to retrieve all descendants of a node in the tree
      given its NCBI taxonID such as
  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

      SELECT tn.*, tnm.name FROM taxon tn, taxon_name tnm, node n
      WHERE
      n.ncbi_taxon_id = :taxonID

      AND tn.name_class = 'scientific_name'
  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

      BioPerl doesn't have a Taxonomy::biosql module yet (though this
      would
      seem like a worthwhile thing to add), so you can't use the
      Bio::DB::Taxonomy interface to do this against a BioSQL instance.
  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

      However, BioPerl does have support for the flat-file download of 
      the
      NCBI taxonomy database and indexes it, so you can simply use
      Taxonomy::{get_taxon,get_all_Descendants} using the flatfile
      download
      to achieve what you wanted to do in a less than 5 lines of perl.
  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

      Although the recursive implementation of
      Taxonomy::get_all_Descendants
      () won't be lightning fast, it may still be perfectly fine for your
      application - are you sure it is not?

      I am looking at extracting the taxonomy hierarchy for some taxon
      ids.
      What I plan to do is, for a given taxon id, say 33090, I want to
      extract all taxon ids that are children of this species. I do not
      just want the immediate children, but the children's children 
      and so
      on.

      Well, you'll use Bio::DB::Taxonomy presumably, and
      each_Descendent in
      some kind of looping structure. Most easily a recursing sub.
  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

      If you happen to code up something neat and efficient, why not
      share it
      with us and we could add it to the Taxonomy module(s).
