MetaSBT Public Databases

A collection of public MetaSBT databases with taxonomically organised Sequence Bloom Trees (SBTs) built over curated sets of microbial genomes.

About databases

Databases are produced with the open-source MetaSBT framework available at https://github.com/cumbof/MetaSBT.

MetaSBT databases are nothing else than big tar archives containing bloom filter representations of microbial genomes taxonomically organised in SBTs. You can extract the archive by yourself but most of the files in there contain absolute paths that are not compatible with their actual location on your file system.

In order to make it easier to deploy and distribute a database, we provide an automated procedure implemented into the install module of the MetaSBT framework.

Have a look at the official documentation for additional information about how to retrieve the most updated list of public database and how to install them at https://github.com/cumbof/MetaSBT/wiki/Installing-public-pre-built-databases.

Note: Are you interested in using our software and databases, or you want to build your own private database, but you do not have enough computational resources? Get in touch with us, we are always happy to collaborate!
