Description

Remove extra words from taxonomic names

Usage

Arguments

x

cols

an optional vector of column names. If NULL (default), the function is applied to the columns associated with the taxonomy and organism fields.

As the function can match words like "g.", "s." or "x", which can have a signification in some nomenclatures, it is recommended to execute refdb_clean_tax_harmonize_nomenclature first.

A reference database.
