Journal ArticleDOI
Publicly Available and Validated DNA Reference Sequences Are Critical to Fungal Identification and Global Plant Protection Efforts: A Use-Case in Colletotrichum.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that species-level identification is elusive for a subset of samples regardless of analytical approach, which may be explained by novel species diversity in the dataset and incomplete lineage sorting and lack of accumulated synapomorphies at these loci.
Journal ArticleDOI
Collection and curation of prokaryotic genome assemblies from type strains at NCBI
Sivakumar Kannan,Shobha Sharma,Stacy Ciufo,Karen Clark,Seán Turner,Paul Kitts,Conrad L. Schoch,Michael DiCuccio,Avraham M. Kimchi +8 more
TL;DR: The average nucleotide identity (ANI)-based quality control processes introduced at NCBI to verify the genomes from type strains and improve related sequence records are detailed here as discussed by the authors , which can act as an unambiguous reference for a taxonomic name and play an important role in comparative genomics.
Journal ArticleDOI
In memoriam –Scott Federhen (October 21, 1952 - May 5, 2016)
TL;DR: Scott (Herbert) Federhen passed away on May 5, 2016, after a short illness, well known for heading the National Center for Biotechnology Information’s (NCBI) Taxonomy project, which became an international standard for nomenclature and classification.

Schoch,Catherine B. Smith,David E. Wentworth,Linda Yankie,Sergey A. Zhdanov,Ilene Karsch-Mizrachi,J. Rodney Brister +18 more
TL;DR: A new NCBI policy is outlined that normalizes Influenza virus taxonomy processing but maintains features supported by the previous approach, and will reduce the amount of manual handling necessary for flu submissions and pave the way for increased automation of the submissions process.

Ribovore: ribosomal RNA sequence analysis for GenBank submissions and database curation
Alejandro A. Schäffer,Richard McVeigh,Barbara Robbertse,Conrad L. Schoch,Anjanette Johnston,Beverly A. Underwood,Ilene Karsch-Mizrachi,Eric P. Nawrocki +7 more
TL;DR: Ribovore as mentioned in this paper is a software package for sequence analysis of rRNA sequences that combines single-sequence and profile-based methods to improve GenBank processing and analysis of RRNA sequences.
