Genome sequence-based species delimitation with confidence intervals and improved distance functions

TL;DR: Despite the high accuracy of GBDP-based DDH prediction, inferences from limited empirical data are always associated with a certain degree of uncertainty, so it is crucial to enrich in-silico DDH replacements with confidence-interval estimation, enabling the user to statistically evaluate the outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Digital DNA-DNA hybridization for microbial species delineation by means of genome-to-genome sequence comparison

TL;DR: This work investigates state-of-the-art methods for inferring whole-genome distances in their ability to mimic DDH and finds that some distance formulas are very robust against missing fractions of genomic information.
Journal ArticleDOI

TYGS is an automated high-throughput platform for state-of-the-art genome-based taxonomy

TL;DR: TYGS, the Type (Strain) Genome Server, a user-friendly high-throughput web server for genome-based prokaryote taxonomy and analysis connected to a large, continuously growing database of genomic, taxonomic and nomenclatural information.
Journal ArticleDOI

List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) moves to the DSMZ

TL;DR: The LPSN was acquired in November 2019 by the DSMZ and was relaunched using an entirely new production system in February 2020, with new features described in detail.

Critical Assessment of Metagenome Interpretation - A benchmark of metagenomics software

Alexander Sczyrba, +75 more
- 02 Oct 2017 - 
TL;DR: The Critical Assessment of Metagenome Interpretation (CAMI) challenge has engaged the global developer community to benchmark their programs on highly complex and realistic data sets, generated from ∼700 newly sequenced microorganisms and ∼600 novel viruses and plasmids and representing common experimental setups as discussed by the authors.
