BioProject

• NCBI BioProject: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject

• Chado Project: https://laceysanderson.github.io/chado-docs/tables/project.html

The Chado project table will provide many more linkers in Chado 1.4: until that discussion is resolved, this module will not take full advantage of NCBI BioProjects.

Notes and details

Multiple organisms

We do not insert all organisms when importing a project accession.

Sometimes, a project will specify a different species and taxID in the Organism tag: <Organism species="57918" taxID="101020">. In these cases, the actual biomaterial is derived from the taxID, so thats what this module imports.

Indirect mappings

NCBI Taxon (organism) is linked to BioProject (project) indirectly, via BioSamples (biomaterial).
