Meeting report: GenBank microbial genomic taxonomy workshop (12–13 May 2015)

摘要

Many genomes are incorrectly identified at GenBank. We developed a plan to find and correct misidentified genomes using genomic comparison statistics together with a scaffold of reliably identified genomes from type. A workshop was organized with broad representation from the bacterial taxonomic community to review the proposal, the GenBank Microbial Genomic Taxonomy Workshop, Bethesda MD, May 12–13, 2015.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s40793-016-0134-1) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
