tax_rank(x) <- value

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

# S3 method for class 'taxa_taxon'

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_rank(x)
#> <taxon_rank[4]>
#> [1] species genus   phylum  family 
#> Rank levels: phylum < family < genus < species
tax_rank(x) <- 'species'
tax_rank(x)[1] <- taxon_rank('family')
