                      species, subgenus, genus, subtribe, tribe, subfamily,
                      family, suborder, order, subclass, class, subphylum,

    List metadata for all reference sequences in database 'refseq':
        metacache info refseq ref

    List metadata for the sequence with id NC_12345.6 in database 'refseq':
        metacache info refseq ref NC_12345.6

    List distribution of the number of sequences on rank 'phylum':
        metacache info refseq rank phylum
