Abstract

Motivation: Over the past years, substantial numbers of microbial species' genomes have been deposited outside of conventional INSDC databases. Results: The GlobDB aggregates 14 independent genomic catalogues to provide a comprehensive database of species-dereplicated microbial genomes, with consistent taxonomy, annotations, and additional analysis resources. The GlobDB more than doubles the number of microbial species represented by genomes relative to the field standard genome taxonomy database. Availability and implementation: The GlobDB is available at https://globdb.org/.
