For submitting a TYGS job, an e-mail address has to be provided along with some genome sequences and/or GenBank accession IDs, the subject of the subsequent analysis. The e-mail address is the only piece of person-related information stored by the TYGS. All data associated with a TYGS job, including the e-mail address, are deleted after the job has finished and an additional amount of time has passed. The exact time of deletion is indicated in the notification e-mail and in the information badges in the top-right corner of the TYGS result page.
Additional information is found in the general privacy statement of the Leibniz Institute DSMZ – German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation.
Please see the GGDC/VICTOR FAQ for detailed instructions on how to specify accession numbers.
Please see the GGDC/VICTOR FAQ for detailed explanations of why an e-mail may get lost. Also note that the TYGS results are additionally displayed on a website.
While the TYGS database attempts to be as comprehensive as possible, a specific type-strain genome may be missing for a variety of reasons:
If you are aware of a type-strain genome sequence that is missing in the TYGS database, please contact the maintainers and provide information on this genome sequence as indicated above.
Prior to sending a report on a missing type-strain genome sequence, make sure the species or subspecies is not contained in the list for manual genome selection. If it is contained, you may better file a report on a type-strain genome sequence that is contained but not automatically found.
