GTDB
Empedobacter brevis
id: s__Empedobacter brevis · GTDB R232
Database's species id. At its weakest, linked by GTDB's own NCBI species id rather than the genome's raw one.

SILVA
Empedobacter brevis
id: MF419184 · SILVA 138.2
Exact taxid. Linked by NCBI taxid — SILVA records the same id NCBI does.

Greengenes2
Chishuiella changwenlii
id: Chishuiella changwenlii · Greengenes2 2024.09
Genome accession. Linked via GTDB R220 genome accessions — the same physical genomes, not a name match.
d__Bacteria; p__Bacteroidota; c__Bacteroidia; o__Flavobacteriales_B_877923; f__Weeksellaceae; g__Chishuiella; s__Chishuiella changwenlii
Only 2 genomes — below the threshold for detecting a split, so “current” here means unverified, not confirmed.
Renamed: Greengenes2 gives this taxon a different name in 2022.10, 2024.09.
eHOMD
Release 4.2No record in eHOMD 4.2.
Each panel shows one release. Switch a release to see how that database's answer changes — the taxon is held fixed by NCBI taxid, so every panel describes the same organism. Each panel also says how it was linked; how the databases are joined explains the routes.

Each column is the release its box shows. marks the first rank at which a database's name differs from NCBI's, by exact text; a suffix such as _A counts. SILVA's path and eHOMD's columns end at genus, so their species row is blank; the box above names the species. Levels a source labels outside these seven ranks are in the API's ranks and not drawn here.
