Hi there, I was wondering if anyone can help me telling me if there is a database specifically for viruses more recent than the one of 2019? If not, do you know if there is another database that may include any other taxa besides viruses, but the taxonomic info of the viruses is at least from 2021 to date?
Welcome, @Janeth_Ramirez
To learn what each of the indexes hosted at the public Galaxy server contains, these are the original resources:
-
Tool home page → Kraken2
-
That links to the hosting site → GitHub - BenLangmead/aws-indexes: Catalog of genomic indexes freely available from public clouds (github) with a viewer available at → Index zone by BenLangmead
-
It looks like there has been a newer update as of last June → https://benlangmead.github.io/aws-indexes/k2
We have a few requests for an update already … but I don’t have a firm estimate for when this will happen yet. I’m glad you asked about this! I created a definitive tracking ticket → Update Kraken2 indexes for June 2024 Updates · Issue #54 · galaxyproject/idc · GitHub
Let’s also track the needed updates here. Feel free to check back and ask!
