GTDB

release

Bifidobacterium animalis_B
Bifidobacterium animalis
+1 more — see all names below

id: s__Bifidobacterium animalis_B / s__Bifidobacterium animalis · GTDB R232

At its weakest, linked by GTDB's own NCBI species id rather than the genome's raw one.

d__Bacteria;p__Actinomycetota;c__Actinomycetes;o__Actinomycetales;f__Bifidobacteriaceae;g__Bifidobacterium;s__Bifidobacterium animalis_B

GTDB R232 places this taxon's 306 genomes in 2 species.

Name differs between releases: Name differs across GTDB releases.

SILVA

release

Bifidobacterium animalis

id: JQ002521 · SILVA 138.2

Linked by name — the SILVA table we ingest carries no NCBI taxid, so the binomial is the only join.

Greengenes2

release

Bifidobacterium animalis

+1 more — see all names below

id: Bifidobacterium animalis (+1) · Greengenes2 2024.09

Linked via GTDB R220 genome accessions — the same physical genomes, not a name match.

eHOMD

release 4.2

Bifidobacterium animalis

id: HMT-895 · eHOMD 4.2

Linked by NCBI taxid — eHOMD records the same id NCBI does.

Only 1 genome — below the threshold for detecting a split, so “current” here means unverified, not confirmed.

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.
