    Yes, but only in the tabular or comma separated output:
    • staxids means Subject Taxonomy ID(s), separated by a ';'
    • sscinames means Subject Scientific Name(s), separated by a ';'
    • scomnames means Subject Common Name(s), separated by a ';'
    • sblastnames means Subject Blast Name(s), separated by a ';' (in alphabetical order)
    • sskingdoms means Subject Super Kingdom(s), separated by a ';' (in alphabetical order)
    • stitle means Subject Title
    • salltitles means All Subject Title(s), separated by a '<>'


    None of these give the full taxonomy lineage, which is what I think was being asked for here (see the earlier comments).

      thanks for your tax_trace.pl script solution!

      Thanks so much jamslz, your script works great. I dont know but the sskingdoms option had never worked for me.

      you made my day with this post!

      Best,

      Lili

          I believe the fairly new BLAST XML v2 output also includes taxonomy information, if available.

            Just thought I'd mention JGI's new Taxonomy server. You can look up organism names, gi numbers, or accession numbers to get either the NCBI taxid or complete lineage. These are all in the nt sequence headers.

              Hi,

              I know I am entering this discussion many many years later but is the perl script still available? I am struggling to find a way to extract full taxonomic information using my blastn taxid outputs and this looks like a great lead!

                Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
                by seqadmin


                Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
