GTDB Search Taxon
Search the Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB) for prokaryotic taxa by partial name. GTDB provides a standardized genome-based taxonomy for Bacteria and Archaea, resolving polyphyletic groups in NCBI taxonomy. Returns matching taxon names with GTDB rank prefixes (d__=domain, p__=phylum, c__=class, o__=order, f__=family, g__=genus, s__=species). Search is case-insensitive and matches partial names. Use this for looking up standardized prokaryotic taxonomy names, finding correct GTDB identifiers, or…
