[Taxacom] a neat hierarchy

[Roderic Page]

Jim,

The Uniprot taxonomy is the same as NCBI's. The hierarchy is NCBI's,  
with two kinds of nodes distinguished:  those that occur in the  
abbreviated classification you see in GenBank records, and those that  
don't (so-called "hidden nodes").

Regards

Rod
