genomeRxiv: a genome-based identification web server that bridges the gap between taxonomy and strain typing

The paper introduces genomeRxiv, a web server that enables precise strain-level identification of prokaryotes using ANI-based LINs, overcoming limitations of traditional taxonomic classification.

Whole genome similarity provides a rapid, robust framework for classification of fungal taxa from the genus rank to intraspecies variants

This study shows that k-mer-based whole-genome similarity can rapidly and accurately classify fungal taxa from genus to intraspecies variants, outperforming traditional methods in speed and efficiency.

Genomic insights into Ceratobasidium sp. associated with vascular streak dieback of woody ornamentals in the United States using a metagenomic sequencing approach

The paper uses metagenomic sequencing to analyze 106 symptomatic samples from woody ornamentals in the U.S., identifying 17 high-quality draft genomes of Ceratobasidium sp. associated with vascular streak dieback, revealing genetic differences from related pathogens.

Genotypic and Phenotypic Analyses Show Ralstonia solanacearum Cool Virulence is a Quantitative Trait Not Restricted to 'Race 3 biovar 2'

The paper analyzes genotypic and phenotypic data to show that cool virulence in Ralstonia solanacearum is a quantitative trait not exclusive to R3bv2 strains.

Meta Analysis of the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC) based on comparative evolutionary genomics and reverse ecology

The paper performs a meta-analysis of 100 RSSC genomes to explore evolutionary diversity, identify sub-clades, and evaluate sequevar taxonomy, providing a genome-based framework for classification and identification.

Single-molecule sequencing of long DNA molecules allows high contiguity de novo genome assembly for the fungus fly, Sciara coprophila

The paper presents the first draft genome of Sciara coprophila using long-read sequencing and assembly methods, enabling high contiguity genome assembly and insights into DNA modifications.

LINbase: A Web service for genome-based identification of microbes as members of crowdsourced taxa

LINbase provides a web service for identifying microbes as members of crowdsourced taxa using genome sequences, enabling collaborative taxonomic classification without sharing full genome data.
