Download reference database file here: mitofish.all.Jul2020.tsv (639,987 records; Jul 2020 update)

Usage: getMito.py [OPTIONS]

From a user-provided list of fish taxonomic names, getMito extracts available mitochondrial information and
FASTA file (optional) at various taxonomic levels. 
The reference database is prepared from the MitoFish database and NCBI (Jul 2020 update).

Options:
  -i, --input_file TEXT           Input query file (e.g. input.txt) [required]
  -o, --output_prefix TEXT        Output prefix (e.g. OUT)  [required]
  -d, --database_file TEXT        Database file (e.g. mitofish.all.Jul2020.tsv) [required]
  -l, --tax_level [1|2|3|4|5|6|7] The taxonomic level of the search (e.g. 7 for speecies search, 6 for genus search)
  --fasta / --no-fasta            Generate FASTA file containing sequences of all matching hits (default=FALSE)
  --help                          Show this message and exit.

Dependencies: Python3 and the conda- and pip-installable click package

Input file example:

Abraliopsis pfefferi
Ahliesaurus berryi
Alepisaurus ferox
Anotopterus pharao
