	<description><![CDATA[<pre>This is an extract of taxdump-readme.txt to be found at 
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/taxonomy/

The content of the archive
--------------------------

It may look like this:

delnodes.dmp
division.dmp
gencode.dmp
merged.dmp
names.dmp
nodes.dmp
readme.txt

The readme.txt file gives a brief description of *.dmp files. These files
contain taxonomic information and are briefly described below. Each of the
files store one record in the single line that are delimited by "\t|\n"
(tab, vertical bar, and newline) characters. Each record consists of one 
or more fields delimited by "\t|\t" (tab, vertical bar, and tab) characters.
The brief description of field position and meaning for each file follows.

nodes.dmp
---------

This file represents taxonomy nodes. The description for each node includes 
the following fields:

	tax_id					-- node id in GenBank taxonomy database
 	parent tax_id				-- parent node id in GenBank taxonomy database
 	rank					-- rank of this node (superkingdom, kingdom, ...) 
 	embl code				-- locus-name prefix; not unique
 	division id				-- see division.dmp file
 	inherited div flag  (1 or 0)		-- 1 if node inherits division from parent
 	genetic code id				-- see gencode.dmp file
 	inherited GC  flag  (1 or 0)		-- 1 if node inherits genetic code from parent
 	mitochondrial genetic code id		-- see gencode.dmp file
 	inherited MGC flag  (1 or 0)		-- 1 if node inherits mitochondrial gencode from parent
 	GenBank hidden flag (1 or 0)            -- 1 if name is suppressed in GenBank entry lineage
 	hidden subtree root flag (1 or 0)       -- 1 if this subtree has no sequence data yet
 	comments				-- free-text comments and citations

names.dmp
---------
Taxonomy names file has these fields:

	tax_id					-- the id of node associated with this name
	name_txt				-- name itself
	unique name				-- the unique variant of this name if name not unique
	name class				-- (synonym, common name, ...)

division.dmp
------------
Divisions file has these fields:
	division id				-- taxonomy database division id
	division cde				-- GenBank division code (three characters)
	division name				-- e.g. BCT, PLN, VRT, MAM, PRI...

	<description><![CDATA[<p>A new study has provided insight into how gene mutation around 8,000 years ago helped Tibetans' to survive in the thin air on the Tibetan Plateau, where an average elevation is of 14,800 feet.<br /><br />A study led by University of Utah scientists is the first to find a genetic cause for the adaptation, a single DNA base pair change that dates back 8,000 years and demonstrate how it contributes to the Tibetans' ability to live in low oxygen conditions.</p><p>About 8,000 years ago, the gene EGLN1 changed by a single DNA base pair. Today, a relatively short time later on the scale of human history, 88 percent of Tibetans have the genetic variation, and it was virtually absent from closely related lowland Asians. The findings indicate the genetic variation endows its carriers with an advantage.<br /><br />In those without the adaptation, low oxygen caused their blood to become thick with oxygen-carrying red blood cells, an attempt to feed starved tissues, which could cause long-term complications such as heart failure. The researchers found that the newly identified genetic variation protected Tibetans by decreasing the over-response to low oxygen.</p><p>Reference: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v512/n7513/abs/nature13408.html</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[The 5 reasons to mistakes at bioinformatics work !!!]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>When you're just starting out with biological programming, it's easy to run into complex problems that make you wonder how anyone has ever managed to write a program. There are some problems that trip up nearly every bioinformatician--everything from getting started understanding the biological problems to dealing with program design. Some random mistakes are so prominent that even experienced biological programmers do it. The 8 years in bioinformatics and my few random observations, most of them are snarky. These reasons will always take longer than expected and compel you to postpone your project deadline.</p><p><strong>1.Stupid for biologist:</strong> Biology is so complex that it will make bioinformatician feel stupid. There are no any universal fixed rules; it can surprise you any time. So be nice to biologists who ask questions and resolve your biological puzzles. Sometime you will have no idea what the hell you were doing either.<br /><br /><strong>2.Puzzling why:</strong> Do not hesitate to ask question. Especially. at the beginning of project you will have to ask a lot of questions. Instead of puzzling it out at end check out and clear your doubt even for a single error. It may can leads to wrong conclusion.<br /><br /><strong>3.Running marathon:</strong> The most of the biological software&rsquo;s documentation is always incomplete. In other word they are no more than 95 percent complete. Sometime a single problem can halt your entire project for months. Compilation and running the pipelines in tedious because almost all are interdependent and need proper configuration. I face the same kind of problem with Evolver :( &hellip; <br /><br /><strong>4.Folders missing:</strong> The pipelines generate lots of data, and we keep them in several folders for future use. But sometime we delete them by mistake and move to recovery&hellip;<br /><br /><strong>5.Digging deeper:</strong> Digging deeper is fruitful, but some time it can be catastrophic. You may get frustrated or direction less. So keep a biologist with you for rescue &hellip;. Sometime an expert computer programmer to handle your server. Remember, the server will always go down when you need it the most.<br /><br />The most common frustrating&nbsp; common line: Why do we do this again?</p>]]></description>
