A new BacDive release is online, providing now data on 93,254 strains!
This update includes a major update for data from DSMZ database, including 637 new strains.
We also integrated comprehensive data on 267 strains for the Wink compendium of Actinobacteria, which now comprises data on 1576 strains and is now finalized!
An exiting new feature are our new taxonmaps: for 15.655 strains we could match 16S sequence data with the database MicrobeAtlas and now provide integrated overviews over the global distribution of a taxon.
