GTDB Get Species

Get detailed information about a GTDB species cluster, including all genomes assigned to that species. A GTDB species cluster groups genomes by average nucleotide identity (ANI). Returns the full list of genomes with their accessions, NCBI organism names, NCBI taxonomy, and whether they are the GTDB species representative or NCBI type material. Useful for exploring species diversity, finding representative genomes, and comparing GTDB vs NCBI classifications.
