PATRIC September 2012 Data Release Includes 750 New Genomes and Updated Figfam Annotations

Published on 2012-09-12 00:00:00

In the September 2012 data release, 750 new genomes have been added and annotated using RAST.  In addition, 26 genomes have been updated or replaced with the newer versions. There have also been significant updates to the FIGfams and their assignments in all the genomes available at PATRIC. The main goal of this update is to collapse similar FIGfams across multiple genera to provide better comparative analysis capabilities.

A summary of the genomes available on the PATRIC website through September, 2012 is provided in the table below:
