    Taxonomy tree conflicts in Greengenes V 13.5

    Hi all,
    I'm using the Lotus pipeline to investigate 16S stool samples. I assigned taxonomy with Greengenes, SILVA, HITdb , since greengenes was updated most recently, SILVA is the biggest database and the unassigned OTUs could then be classified by HITdb.
    I was not surprised, that tree conflicts occurred, but what was surprising was that greengenes itself (V 13.5 05/2019) included conflicting information, or how would you judge this:
    158718 k__Bacteria; p__Bacteroidetes; c__Bacteroidia; o__Bacteroidales; f__Prevotellaceae; g__Prevotella; s__

    186714 k__Bacteria; p__Bacteroidetes; c__Bacteroidia; o__Bacteroidales; f__[Paraprevotellaceae]; g__[Prevotella]; s__

    What does the parenthesis mean? Anyways, unfortunately, this results in one genus on different nodes, retrieved from one database!

    Looking much forward for a fruitful discussion with you.

    Cheers,
    Ulrike

    Greengenes hasn't actually been updated since 2013. Personally, I just wouldn't use it at all. Stick to Silva, RDP or GTDB if possible.

        I think they may have changed some minor things this year but not the entire database. 13-5 is the May 2013 release.

            Pathogen Surveillance with Advanced Genomic Tools
            by seqadmin




            The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...
