Thanks for the comment. FTP and access to Assembly data through FTP and the E-Utilities API / EDirect will remain exactly the same as before, so this change should not affect bioinformatic workflows only the web pages.

Completely deprecating the assembly web resources (and especially command line resources) will break a lot of people’s workflows.
