The file is at:
ftp://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/misc/data/gc.prt
geneticcode.is needs minor editing because the file uses tabs:
Change all 3 cases of ' {' to '\t{'
P.S. Thanks to NCBI for the acknowledgement :-)
Now, when I build the links from taxonomy to geneticcode,
how come I get only 6/12 genetic codes linked?
The missing ones are listed below. They include "Eubacterial" - i.e. all
the bacteria (which have alternate start codons GTG, CTG and TTG).
getz 'geneticcode ! (geneticcode < taxonomy)' -f name -f id
"Ciliate Macronuclear and Daycladacean"
"SGC5"
6
"Protozoan Mitochondrial (and Kinetoplast)"
"SGC6"
7
"[OBSOLETE, posttranscriptional editing only] Plant Mitochondrial/Chloroplast"
"SGC7"
8
"Euplotid Macronuclear"
"SGC9"
10
"Eubacterial"
11
"Group II yeasts (Nuc Acids Res 1993, 21:4039)"
12
