SeqCode: a nomenclatural code for prokaryotes described from sequence data

Abstract: Most prokaryotes are not available as pure cultures and therefore ineligible for naming under the rules and recommendations of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP). Here we summarize the development of the SeqCode, a code of nomenclature under which genome sequences serve as nomenclatural types. This code enables valid publication of names of prokaryotes based upon isolate genome, metagenome-assembled genome or single-amplified genome sequences. Otherwise, it is similar to the ICNP with… Show more

“…In contrast, proposals to emend the ICNP for using DNA sequences as nomenclatural types [4, 5] were denied by the ICSP [12]. These proposals were now implemented in the SeqCode by a group of authors [19] who, when doing so, copied the format of the ICNP but were acting separately from the ICSP. The SeqCode is not recognized by the ICSP.…”

“…A primary requisite to identify the genetics underlying particular traits is the access to detailed data on the genomes of key bacterial populations, which circumvents the dependence on difficult-to-assess differences in morphological or other phenotypic distinctions between taxa. In fact, standards are being developed so that new taxa and their names can be proposed based entirely on genomic information ( Hedlund et al, 2022 ). Due to increasingly high-throughput and cost-effective sequencing methodologies, knowledge is accumulating on the spatiotemporal distribution of microbial groups and populations.…”

“…Las especies se nombran siguiendo códigos de nomenclatura para garantizar que cada una tenga un nombre único que ayude a entender su relación con otros organismos en el contexto taxonómico. Este nombre único consta de dos partes y sigue el sistema de nomenclatura "binomial" introducido hace casi 300 años por Carl Linnaeus, científico sueco reconocido como el padre de la taxonomía moderna (Venter, 2022). En este sistema, la primera parte identifica el género y la segunda es un nombre específico que distingue la especie de otras en el mismo género.…”

“…No sabemos cuántas especies procariotas hay en el planeta, pero se estima que solo una pequeña proporción del total (<0,2 %) cuenta con nombres asignados en la actualidad (Sutcliffe et al, 2021). El resto, la gran mayoría de los microorganismos no cultivados e identificados solo por secuenciación, permanece sin nomenclatura, pues no cumple con los criterios consignados en el código (Nayfach et al, 2021;Hedlund et al, 2022). Esta situación está causando un embotellamiento de la información dada la expansión de registros microbianos ambientales gracias a los avances en tecnologías de secuenciación para estudiar las comunidades microbianas sin necesidad de realizar cultivos.…”
