GTDB compare

[raw-lab]

Not really an issue. I am curious if you have compared to GTDB and GEBA to see if they full length genomes help in relation to the 16s only databases like silva.

We work on cyanos. We would like to help.

Many thanks,

Hey Richard,

This is something I keep telling myself I will do, but can never find the time. I've made a few trees of some orders, but nothing in depth. I'd like to create something like Supp Fig 2 from (this paper)[https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jpy.13304], but the taxonomy from GTDB is such a headache compared to the current state of cyanobacterial taxonomy (also a headache) I just haven't found the time.

I will probably put this off until after the next GTDB update, so after April(?) I will reach out! in the meantime, I open to suggestions. We are working on getting a few genomes of type strains (among others) submitted before then, which will be really helpful (hopefully) to sort this all out.

Cyanobacterial taxonomy is bad. We can do better. I think we need to go back to the drawing board and get complete closed genomes and merge towards typed strains. We have the availability to sequence lots of there genomes. Maybe something your group and my group can discuss.

Many thanks
