No record in SILVA 138.2.

Greengenes2

Release

Methanocrinis sp001602645

id: Methanocrinis sp001602645 · Greengenes2 2024.09

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

d__Archaea; p__Halobacteriota; c__Methanosarcinia; o__Methanotrichales; f__Methanotrichaceae; g__Methanocrinis; s__Methanocrinis sp001602645

Only 1 genome — 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 4.2

No 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.
