Notice for users submitting MAGs to INSDC
Issue: MAGs submitted to INSDC without taxonomic annotations, typically listed as ‘metagenome’, are not included in GTDB. Examples: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/gen...
What to do: Provide at least a domain-level taxonomic affiliation in the Taxon field.
The GTDB website now has an ANI calculator based on skani that supports uploading of user genomes. Try it at gtdb.ecogenomic.org/tools/skani.
