The GTDB provides the software infrastructure for working with a large collection of genomic resources. The major goal of this initiative is to provide a phylogenetically consistent taxonomy for archaea and bacteria.
Ideally, all genomes and other generated files the are added to the GTDB would be owned by gtdb_dev. Files should be set to read only by all other users and groups. This is basically a proactive step to ensure these genomes are not accidentally deleted, modified, or moved by individuals which would break the GTDB.
