Return a data.frame that lists the known taxonomy IDs and their corresponding organisms.
NCBI maintains a collection of unique taxonomy IDs and pairs these with associated genus and species designations. This function returns the set of pre-processed values that we use to check that something is a valid Taxonomy ID (or organism).
loadTaxonomyDb()
