ATCC Genome Portal provides access to reference-quality genomes, enabling increased confidence in research


ATCC has launched its new ATCC Genome Portal, a publicly available database of reference-quality genome sequences matched to authenticated ATCC biological materials that will help researchers interpret and reproduce their results with confidence. The portal, which launched with an initial 250 genome sequences of widely used bacterial strains, delivers on ATCC’s Enhanced Authentication Initiative, a component of the first of five core pledges under the Incredible 2020 Initiative aimed at increasing reproducibility in biological research.
