Description of the semantics of Taxon table attributes

follows: library construction, random sequencing, fragment alignment and gap closure, and editing. Researchers have complete sequencing of many bacterial genomes and make comparison between one another as well. This output will help us in identification and determination of structure of genome, microbial physiology, phylogeny, and also the pathogen that cause a disease. Identification of those criteria directly will help in producing new vaccines and drugs for the disease treatment. At last, the function of genome can be identified by annotation, where the DNA chips were used to study the mRNA synthesis and the organism’s protein content. The extensive contribution of the genomes comparison is the understanding of prokaryotic evolution and assists to assume the genes that are responsible for different cellular processes.

3.2.1 Description of the semantics of Taxon table attributes

The taxon table holds the information about each genome filled into the omniome database. Table db_data and taxon_link has linkage of genome information with taxon table. Taxon table’s data was taken from NCBI. Taxon table has 14 attributes and 723 rows of tuples. The attributes of Taxon table are: Taxon = u_id, taxon_id, kingdom, genus, species, comment, strain, intermediate_rank_1, intermediate_rank_2, intermediate_rank_3, intermediate_rank_4, intermediate_rank_5, intermediate_rank_6, short_name Fundamentally, kingdom in biology is known as taxonomic rank which is the top rank or three-domain system. Kingdoms are divided into three main domains such as bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. Classification level of the organisms during 1970’s was 24 increase due to importance of molecular level comparisons of the genes is the key factor besides genetic similarity and the physical appearance and behaviour. In biology, genus plural: genera is the low-level taxonomic rank which is used to classify the living and fossil organisms. Biodiversity studies especially fossil studies of a species cannot always be identified and genera and families basically have lengthy ranges than species which is determined by using genera and higher taxonomic level for instance families. Essentially species is a group of organisms that is capable of interbreeding and reproducing good offspring. Normally species that shared common ancestors were placed in one genus based on some similarities. The similarities are comparison of physical attributes, for example their DNA sequences. Strain also known as low-level taxonomic rank used in some of the biological field. A strain is a genetic variant or a subtype of a micro-organism for instance virus, bacterium or fungus. “Flu strain” is an example of the influenza or “flu” virus. Intermediate ranking is about subdivision of the kingdom to get more specific gene for further use such as to produce vaccine.
