Scaffold ID = Taxon ID

[shellblu]

   I noticed that the Scaffold ID sometimes equals the Taxon ID of a different organism....

   for example: Scaffold ID 638276745 =  Simian immunodeficiency virus SIV-mnd 2, while Taxon ID 638276745 = Enterobacteria phage ES18

   Is this on purpose? If so, can I make a plea to change it?

ID's in IMG are internal primary keys and cannot be changed.

There are probably hundreds/thousands of scaffold ids and taxon ids that overlap.

The scaffold ids and taxon ids have nothing to do with each other.
