Abstract

cazy_webscraper retrieves protein data from the CAZy database and stores the data in a local SQLite3 database. This enables users to integrate the dataset into analytical pipelines, and interrogate the data in a manner unachievable through the CAZy website.

Data can be retrieved for user defined datasets of interest. cazy_webscraper can recover specified CAZy Classes and/or CAZy families. These queries can be filtered by taxonomy at Kingdoms, genus, species or strain level. Successive CAZy queries can be collated into a single local database. A log of each query is recorded in the database for transparency, reproducibility and shareablity.
