Updated Bacterial and Archaeal Reference Genomes Collection"},"content":{"rendered":"

An updated\u00a0bacterial and archaeal reference genome collection<\/a>\u00a0is 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<\/a>, except for\u00a0E. coli<\/em>\u00a0for which two assemblies were selected as reference.<\/span><\/p>\n

The criteria<\/a> for selecting the reference assembly for a given species include assembly contiguity and completeness and quality of the RefSeq annotation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
