One Codex Releases New, Largest Ever Database
Today at the Advances in Genome Biology & Technology (AGBT) conference, we are excited to unveil the largest searchable database of microbial genomes. Curated from its larger collection of hundreds of thousands of genomes, the latest One Codex Database includes >80,000 genomes and provides unprecedented sensitivity and specificity for metagenomic applications. The latest One Codex Database enables: Highly sensitive identification of microbes in complex samples Precise quantification of microbial abundances from whole genome sequencing (WGS) data Community-wide characterization of complex microbial samples, including the human microbiome Spanning the tree of life Our latest release includes over 80,000 genomes, representing more than 43,000 distinct species and 69,000 strains across all microbial domains.
