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.
The annotation of type strains should only be modified in order to maintain monophyly or when multiple type strains exists due to erroneous prior annotations. A check should be made to indicate any type strains that have been assigned to a new genus and these verified for correctness (either automatically or manually).
