@isme-microbes.bsky.social offers a great opportunity to publish uncultured microbes via #SeqCode using #genomes as type material. A fantastic step toward embracing the true diversity of microbes! But isolates are also welcome 🧫🔬🦠😁 @seqcode.bsky.social

🎉 The #SeqCode has reached a significant milestone: with the validation of the genus Skiveiella, a total of 1,000 #names have now been validly published under the SeqCode. This achievement marks a major step forward in the adoption and impact of the SeqCode within the scientific community.

Happy classifying and naming!

Saving microbes might sound like a crazy idea to some, but naming them could actually help protect them too. Imagine if all Lactobacillus spp. suddenly disappeared from your gut… you'd better name them! #Taxonomy #Nomenclature #Microbes

This paper is part of a special issue of SAM partnered with #seqcode, as we also propose names for two novel genera within the MB11C04 family, as well as suggest a non-alphanumeric name, Seribacteraceae. Check it out!

Very happy to share that the first manuscript of my PhD with @cotoorellana.bsky.social in #MolEcol @mpimarinemicrobio.bsky.social is published! We characterise a family of Verrucomicrobiota in the context of spring blooms, revealing their specialisation in potential complex glycan degradation

A 6-month discussion on the revision of the #ICNP is underway, including #Section_10 to regulate the #Candidatus names. Pro-statuses will be added to the names with various nomenclature types 🤔. Please share your thoughts: icnp-revision.slack.com How to join: doi.org/10.1099/ijse... #SeqCode

"MIRRI-ERIC fully supports the importance of maintaining physical type strains as NTs, while also recommending genome sequence data that meet SeqCode's quality standards as additional NTs." 👏 #Nomenclature #SeqCode #Taxonomy #genomes

This is a great study, and both codes are doing their best to serve our scientific community. The SeqCode recognizes names validly published under the ICNP and their priorities; thus, Patescibacteriota it is. We hope this promotes the reuse of existing names where possible.

Since 2022, the SeqCode Registry has enabled the valid publication of 700+ names, providing nomenclatural stability and recognition for prokaryotes described without pure cultures. We’re a small but growing community advancing the use of genomic data in naming microorganisms. #SeqCode #Nomenclature
