Download the updated bacterial and archaeal reference genome collection<\/a>! We built this collection of 20,403 genomes by selecting the “best” genome assembly for each species among the 350,000+ prokaryotic genomes in RefSeq<\/a> (except for E. coli for which two assemblies were selected as reference). Changes have been made to the selection criteria including upgrades for type and complete assemblies resulting in a much larger set of changes as compared to previous updates.<\/p>\n
