Set and get the taxon names in objects that have them, such as taxon objects. Note that this is not the same as adding vector names with names.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'taxa_classification'
tax_name(x)

# S3 method for class 'taxa_classification'
tax_name(x) <- value

tax_name(x)

tax_name(x) <- value

# S3 method for class 'taxa_taxon'
tax_name(x)

# S3 method for class 'taxa_taxon'
tax_name(x) <- value

# S3 method for class 'taxa_taxonomy'
tax_name(x)

# S3 method for class 'taxa_taxonomy'
tax_name(x) <- value

Arguments

An object with taxon names.

value

The taxon names to set. Inputs will be coerced into a character vector.

Examples

x <- taxon(name = c('Homo sapiens', 'Bacillus', 'Ascomycota', 'Ericaceae'),
           rank = c('species', 'genus', 'phylum', 'family'),
           id = taxon_id(c('9606', '1386', '4890', '4345'), db = 'ncbi'),
           auth = c('Linnaeus, 1758', 'Cohn 1872', NA, 'Juss., 1789'))

tax_name(x)
#> [1] "Homo sapiens" "Bacillus"     "Ascomycota"   "Ericaceae"   
tax_name(x) <- tolower(tax_name(x))
tax_name(x)[1] <- 'Billy'
