Continued influx of metagenome-derived proteins with misannotated taxonomy into conventional databases, including RefSeq, threatens to eliminate the value of taxonomy identifiers. To prevent this, urgent efforts should be undertaken by submitters of metagenomic data sets as well as by database managers.

宏基因组蛋白质和数据库污染

带有错误注释分类法的宏基因组衍生蛋白质不断涌入包括 RefSeq 在内的传统数据库，这可能会消除分类法标识符的价值。为了防止这种情况发生，宏基因组数据集的提交者和数据库管理人员应采取紧急措施。
