Item Meeting report: GenBank microbial genomic taxonomy workshop (12–13 May, 2015)(Springer Nature, 2016-02-09) Federhen, Scott; Rossello-Mora, Ramon; Klenk, Hans-Peter; Tindall, Brian J.; Konstantinidis, Konstantinos T.; Whitman, William B.; Brown, Daniel; Labeda, David; Ussery, David; Garrity, George M.; Colwell, Rita R.; Hasan, Nur; Graf, Joerg; Parte, Aidan; Yarza, Pablo; Goldberg, Brittany; Sichtig, Heike; Karsch-Mizrachi, Ilene; Clark, Karen; McVeigh, Richard; Pruitt, Kim D.; Tatusova, Tatiana; Falk, Robert; Turner, Seán; Madden, Thomas; Kitts, Paul; Kimchi, Avi; Klimke, William; Agarwala, Richa; DiCuccio, Michael; Ostell, JamesMany genomes are incorrectly identified at GenBank. We developed a plan to find and correct misidentified genomes using genomic comparison statistics together with a scaffold of reliably identified genomes from type. A workshop was organized with broad representation from the bacterial taxonomic community to review the proposal, the GenBank Microbial Genomic Taxonomy Workshop, Bethesda MD, May 12–13, 2015.
