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!

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!

#Taxonomy #Nomenclature #Microbes

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..."

#Taxonomy4Science

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 🤔.

#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.

Later synonym (phylum name) under the SeqCode:
Patescibacteriota (ex Rinke et al., 2013) Dutkiewicz et al., 2024

Originally defined by Rinke et al. (2013) as Candidatus Patescibacteria, the phylum #Patescibacteriota now has a validly published name and an official type!

Explore the lifestyle, biogeography, and metabolic capabilities of its type genus, #Patescibacterium, here: doi.org/10.1093/isme...

#SeqCode

"...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.

#SeqCode #Nomenclature #Genomes #Bacteria #Archaea

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.
