An updated version of the MGnify Genomes marine catalogue is being released.

This latest release (v2.0) of the marine catalogue contains data from 1628 studies, including genomes from major sampling expeditions such as Tara Oceans, Malaspina, GO-Ship, and Geotraces, amongst others.

An important advancement in this version of the catalogue is that it is representative of the marine genomes available in the public archives at the time of generation. It includes not only those generated and submitted by MGnify, but also MAGs generated by other groups and submitted to the INSDC, as well as isolate genomes (and MAGs) from marine data as curated by MarDB.
