            taxa (based on the Quest for Ortholog data set). The taxonomy
            information in <em>PhyloProfile</em> is stored in different files
            within the <code>PhyloProfile/PhyloProfile/data</code> folder (to
            check where <em>PhyloProfile</em> package is installed, im R
            Terminal type <code>find.package(\"PhyloProfile\")</code>). Two
            most important files are the <code>preProcessedTaxonomy.txt</code>
            and <code>taxonomyMatrix.txt</code>. The
            <code>preProcessedTaxonomy.txt</code> file stored a pre-processing
            NCBI taxonomy database. While the <code>taxonomyMatrix.txt</code>
            file is used for sorting the input taxa in the profile plot as well
            as dynamically changing the working systematic rank. For more info
            please refer to
            <a href=\"https://github.com/BIONF/PhyloProfile/wiki/PhyloProfile-and-the-NCBI-taxonomy-database\"
            target=\"_blank\">this post</a>.</p>
            <p>If your phylogenetic profiles contains taxa that are not part of
            that set, the new taxa will need to be parsed. Normally, if the new
            taxa can be found in the <code>preProcessedTaxonomy.txt</code>, you
            can easily parse the taxonomy info for those taxa by clicking on
            <strong>Parse taxnomoy info</strong> button in the Shiny App of
            <em>PhyloProfile</em>. In case your pre-processing NCBI taxonomy
            database is out-of-date and some of the new taxa are not in that
            old database, you will see the <strong>Add taxonomy info</strong>
            button instead. You have to either manually add those taxa using
            the <strong>Add taxonomy info</strong> button, or update the
            <code>preProcessedTaxonomy.txt</code> file by using the
            function <strong>\"<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">
            Update NCBI taxonomy DB</span>\"</strong>. This
            task will take some minutes depending on your internet
            connection. So, please be patient and wait until the process is
            done!</p>
            <p>Whenever a new taxon is added into the taxonomy data of
            <em>PhyloProfile</em>, the taxonomy files will be
            changed. If you encounter any troubles related to the taxonomy,
            such as error by parsing new taxa, not all input taxa can be found,
            the order of your taxa in the profile plot looks weird, etc., you
            should <strong>\"<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">
            Reset the NCBI taxonomy DB</span>\"</strong>.</p>
            <p>You can also <strong>\"<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">
            Export the taxonomy database</span>\"</strong> of your current
            working project for backing up.</p>
            <p>Last but not least, if you want to
            <strong>\"<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">
            Import any existing taxonomy files</span>\"</strong> from your old
            analysesto <em>PhyloProfile</em> by providing the folder that
