LPSN & TYGS: taxonomic data
Group
Head of Group
The List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) provides comprehensive information on the nomenclature of prokaryotes and much more.
The Type (Strain) Genome Server (TYGS) closes a gap by providing a publicly available bioinformatics infrastructure. It builds on the established GGDC infrastructure but adds a variety of taxonomically useful facilities. TYGS allows for a genome-based replacement of taxonomic standard techniques such as DNA:DNA hybridization (DDH), G+C-content measurement, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and multi-locus sequence analysis.
