Updated Bacterial and Archaeal Reference Genome Collection is Available!
Download the updated bacterial and archaeal reference genome collection! This collection of 18,943 genomes was built by selecting the “best” genome assembly for each species among the 330,000+ prokaryotic genomes in RefSeq (except for E. coli for which two assemblies were selected as reference). You can speed up your sequence searches by running them against … Continue reading Updated Bacterial and Archaeal Reference Genome Collection is Available!
Now Available! Updated Bacterial and Archaeal Reference Genomes Collection
An updated bacterial and archaeal reference genome collection is available! This collection of 18,343 genomes was built by selecting exactly one genome assembly for each species among the 312,000+ prokaryotic genomes in RefSeq, except for E. coli for which two assemblies were selected as reference. The criteria for selecting the reference assembly for a given species include assembly contiguity … Continue reading Now Available! Updated Bacterial and Archaeal Reference Genomes Collection

Now available: Updated prokaryote representative genomes collection
An updated bacterial and archaeal representative genomes collection is available! We selected a total of 16,665 of the 262,000 prokaryotic assemblies in RefSeq to represent their respective species. For the first time, more complete assemblies (as calculated by CheckM) were ranked higher than less complete assemblies. See the ranked list of criteria for selecting representative assemblies … Continue reading Now available: Updated prokaryote representative genomes collection

Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) for assembly validation
Validating genome assemblies submitted to GenBank using ANI based workflow Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) analysis is a useful tool to verify taxonomic identities in prokaryotic genomes. As part of the NCBI bacterial genome submission process, GenBank performs ANI analyses to compare submitted prokaryotic genome assemblies against reference data generated from type strains. You can learn … Continue reading Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) for assembly validation
