🧬 #BacDive is also taking a long-awaited leap into the world of genomics with the debut of a genome browser 🔎🖥️.

For the first time, BacDive now displays genomic information. The genome browser feature lists and visualizes #Bakta annotations of #INSDC genome assemblies.

✨With this update, #BacDive additionally receives a new look 🖥️.

The new website, which had been in beta test phase for the last six months, adopts the shared modern design of @dsmzd3.bsky.social, which offers users an intuitive navigation and more clearly structured strain detail pages.

The 2025 #BacDive 🦠 release is now online.

🎉🥳 The database now contains information on more than 100,000 strains 🧫.

For this update, new data provided by @leibniz-dsmz.bsky.social and information on type strains of newly described species from the #LPSN database were added.

This year's #BacDive workshop will take place on 24th November 2025, 3 - 5 PM CET online!

We are especially looking forward to the opportunity to answer your questions, and hear your feedback and ideas. 🦠🧬.

Sneak peek 👀🤫

There is a new BacDive layout in the making 🤩. Who is excited to try it out soon? 🖥️🦠

❗The 2024 BacDive release is now online❗

New strains from the @leibniz-dsmz.bsky.social catalogue, new data provided by DSMZ curators, and information on type strains of newly described species were added to the database. 🦠

BacDive now contains 2,709,516 data points on 99,392 strains!

BacDive's new Special Collections📚 assemble strains that are part of the same research project or collection🧫. This provides users with better access and makes these data sets more visible. You can find all Special Collections on a dedicated new page at
🔗 bacdive.dsmz.de/special-coll...

📣 Introducing the new BacDive knowledge graph 🦠💡, which contains more than 16.5 million triples representing so far 26 BacDive entities and can be accessed through a SPARQL ✨ endpoint.
