Meeting report: GenBank microbial genomic taxonomy workshop (12–13 May, 2015)

Many 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.https://doi.org/10.1186/s40793-016-0134-
