@seqcode
SeqCode is the nomenclature code for prokaryotes in which genome sequences serve as nomenclatural types for naming new species. It enables the registration and validation of names through the central repository, the SeqCode Registry (https://seqco.de/)
@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.
Part 2 of our #SeqCode video series is here!
This time, we dive into #Latin and #name formation, presented by Dr. Dominik Berrens from Johannes Gutenberg-Universität in Mainz.
🍿 Enjoy share, and don't be shy - ask questions in the comments!

A brief introduction to the #SeqCode is now online!
Check it out, share it with your colleagues, and let us know what you think!
Bravo to @rodriguez-r.bsky.social for preparing and recording this!

Happy classifying and naming!
microbe! 🥰
Zombie names are creating worries among botanists (and not only)...
😱😱😱
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!

Great initiative 👏
Quentin Groom, Stream Leader at #TETTRIsEU, explains why we released a #PolicyBrief on Biological #Nomenclature.
"There is a gap we shall fill in how we work together with #scientists from all over the world..."

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 🤔.

"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." 👏

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.
Later synonym (phylum name) under the SeqCode:
Patescibacteriota (ex Rinke et al., 2013) Dutkiewicz et al., 2024
Thus, it is considered a later synonym...
It is important to note that, based on the validation date, the phylum name Patescibacteriota has priority over Minisyncoccota under the SeqCode.
A typical nature of taxonomy and nomenclature, with ongoing discoveries and new proposals...
Originally defined by Rinke et al. (2013) as Candidatus Patescibacteria, the phylum #Patescibacteriota now has a validly published name and an official type!

"...nature needs to be understood and named in a stable, universal, operationally neutral, and transcultural manner."
From a collective international appeal on the stability of biological nomenclature.

Did you know that the #GTDB phylum #CSP1-3 is now called #Sysuimicrobiota?
This new name originates from its type genus, which is named after Sun Yat-Sen University (SYSU) in China.

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.
