We present two standards developed by the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) for
reporting bacterial and archaeal genome sequences. Both are extensions of the Minimum …

Abstract The Genomes OnLine Database (GOLD)(https://gold. jgi. doe. gov/) is a manually
curated, daily updated collection of genome projects and their metadata accumulated from …

By changing soil properties, plants can modify their growth environment. Although the soil
microbiota is known to play a key role in the resulting plant-soil feedbacks, the proximal …

The widespread application of next-generation sequencing technologies has revolutionized
microbiome research by enabling high-throughput profiling of the genetic contents of …

Abstract The Pseudomonas Genome Database (http://www. pseudomonas. com) is well
known for the application of community-based annotation approaches for producing a high …

Background Harnessing beneficial microbes presents a promising strategy to optimize plant
growth and agricultural sustainability. Little is known to which extent and how specifically …

Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth, but challenges in detecting,
isolating, and classifying unknown viruses have prevented exhaustive surveys of the global …

Abstract The Integrated Microbial Genomes with Microbiome Samples (IMG/M: https://img.
jgi. doe. gov/m/) system contains annotated DNA and RNA sequence data of (i) archaeal …

Plants produce a huge array of metabolites, far more than those produced by most other
organisms. Unraveling this diversity and its underlying genetic variation has attracted …

The human body is the residence of a large number of commensal (non-pathogenic) and
pathogenic microbial species that have co-evolved with the human genome, adaptive …
