Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reviewing metacoder's existing parsing code and the NCBI taxonomy resource at ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/taxonomy/ to determine the expected GenBank format. Done means the database can be parsed by metacoder and the result is verified against representative taxonomy data.
