Advances in high-throughput sequencing (HTS) have fostered rapid developments in the
field of microbiome research, and massive microbiome datasets are now being generated …

Microbiome data, metadata and analytical workflows have become 'big'in terms of volume
and complexity. Although the infrastructure and technologies to share data have been …

Most prokaryotes are not available as pure cultures and therefore ineligible for naming
under the rules and recommendations of the International Code of Nomenclature of …

We present two standards developed by the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) for
reporting bacterial and archaeal genome sequences. Both are extensions of the Minimum …

We present an extension of the Minimum Information about any (x) Sequence (MIxS)
standard for reporting sequences of uncultivated virus genomes. Minimum Information about …

With the rapid adoption of high-throughput omic approaches to analyze biological samples
such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, each analysis can …

Abstract The Genomes OnLine Database (GOLD)(https://gold. jgi. doe. gov/) is a manually
curated, daily updated collection of genome projects and their metadata accumulated from …

The great majority of microbial species remains uncultured, severely limiting their taxonomic
characterization and thus communication among scientists. Although Candidatus was …

It is easy for today's students and researchers to believe that modern bioinformatics
emerged recently to assist next-generation sequencing data analysis. However, the very …

Abstract The MetaCyc database (MetaCyc. org) is a freely accessible comprehensive
database describing metabolic pathways and enzymes from all domains of life. The majority …
