Question about lowercase/uppercase genomes #33

Closed franciscozorrilla closed 1 year ago

franciscozorrilla commented 1 year ago

Hi, I noticed that some genome .fna files e.g. MGYG000002322 are all lowercase, while others are all uppercase MGYG000000001. Could you explain what the significance of the lower/upper case genomes is?

Best, Francisco

Hi Francisco,

The lowercase doesn't have significance here, the genomes were obtained from different sources and some were formatted this way.

Best, Tanya

Thanks for the clarification, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something there :)

Best, Francisco
