News and announcements for the GlobDB and the Amino Acid sequence toolkit.
First version of the amino acid sequence toolkit released
We are very happy to announce the first release of the the amino acid sequence toolkit (AASTK).
Data sources for GlobDB release 232
The r232 release of the GlobDB is in preparation, and will be based on the upcoming GTDB release. The existing data sources in the GlobDB will be dereplicated against the new GTDB release. In addition, we will include genomes from the data sources listed below if they represent species that aren't present in the INSDC databases or previous GlobDB releases.
Maintenance of GlobDB server on February 18th
On Wednesday February 18th the Life Science Compute Cluster (LiSC) that hosts the GlobDB will be shut off for maintenance. This means no downloads will be possible that day (at least during European day time). If all goes well, LiSC will be back up the next day.
anvi'o v9 released
The anvi'o team just released v9 "Eunice". Anvi'o v9 is the first stable release in nearly two years, and comes with a lot of changes relative to v8. See the release notes here.
Why is this important for the GlobDB?
