The GTDB Toolkit (GTDB-Tk) provides objective taxonomic assignments for bacterial and archaeal genomes based on the Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB). GTDB-Tk is computationally efficient and able to classify thousands of draft genomes in parallel. Here we demonstrate the accuracy of the GTDB-Tk taxonomic assignments by evaluating its performance on a phylogenetically diverse set of 10,156 bacterial and archaeal metagenome-assembled genomes.
GTDB-Tk is implemented in Python and licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0. Source code and documentation are available at: https://github.com/ecogenomics/gtdbtk.

GTDB工具包(GTDB-Tk)基于基因组分类数据库(GTDB)为细菌和古菌基因组提供客观的分类学归属。GTDB-Tk计算效率高,能够并行分类数千个草图基因组。在这里,我们通过评估GTDB-Tk在10156个细菌和古菌宏基因组组装基因组的系统发育多样集合上的性能,证明了其分类学归属的准确性。
GTDB-Tk用Python实现,并根据GNU通用公共许可证v3.0授权。源代码和文档可在以下网址获取:https://github.com/ecogenomics/gtdbtk。
