Clicking on “View” from the “Genomes” page will direct you to the “Overview” tab for a specific genome. This view provides a summary of:

  • the genome assembly, including the date published, genome length, sequencing technology used, number of contigs, assembly summary (i.e. the completion level of the assembly), N50, and %GC.

  • the ATCC source organism, including where the microbe was isolated from, its biosafety level, whether or not is is a type strain, any antigenic properties, and which antibiotic resistances it carries

  • annotations, including the numbers of CDS, hypothetical proteins, tRNA, 5S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and 23S rRNA 

  • the sequencing reads that went into the assembly, including the count and median Q scores for both Oxford Nanopore and Illumina reads, as well as the mean coverage depth for Illumina reads.
