Download the updated bacterial and archaeal reference genome collection! We built this collection of 19,328 genomes by selecting the “best” genome assembly for each species among the 350,000+ prokaryotic genomes in RefSeq (except for E. coli for which two assemblies were selected as reference).
What’s New?
- 413 species are represented in this collection for the first time
- 198 species are represented by a better assembly
- 27 species were removed because of changes in NCBI Taxonomy or uncertainty in their species assignment
