Underlying method and version boundaries

GTDB-Tk assigns bacterial and archaeal genomes to the Genome Taxonomy Database and supports MAGs, isolate genomes and single-cell genomes. Historical GTDB-Tk versions and GTDB data releases must be retained together.

Technical metadata and extraction receipts

Stable ID: reported-model-3fd1e9f6c573b2

areas: microbes-communities
entity level: method
version: Not reported
reported name: GTDB-Tk
historical missing metadata: version: not_reported_in_legacy_extract; checkpoint revision: not_reported_in_legacy_extract; training data: not_reported_in_legacy_extract; licence: not_reported_in_legacy_extract
metadata review scope: historical_missing_metadata preserves the original discovery state. Current descriptive evidence and missingness are recorded in profile.facts; numerical-result review is separate.
legacy kinds: model
entity classification: review date: 2026-09-17; rationale: This source-scoped entry preserves the method/configuration actually named in an evaluation. It is neither a global family identity nor proof of an immutable checkpoint; the linked evaluation retains adaptation, fitting and scoring details.; source ids: kmetashot-2025; evidence-reported-base-gtdbtk-readme-md; source locator: Materials and methods/GTDBtk taxonomy conversion (paragraph 1); Materials and methods (paragraph 1) | README.md model description | Materials and methods/GTDBtk taxonomy conversion (paragraph 1); Results (paragraph 1); ambiguities: Configuration means the source-labelled evaluated identity. It does not establish missing checkpoint hashes, default settings or equivalence to same-named records in other papers.
