🎉 The #SeqCode has reached a significant milestone: with the validation of the genus Skiveiella, a total of 1,000 #names have now been validly published under the SeqCode.
This achievement marks a major step forward in the adoption and impact of the SeqCode within the scientific community.

Since 2022, the SeqCode Registry has enabled the valid publication of 700+ names, providing nomenclatural stability and recognition for prokaryotes described without pure cultures. We’re a small but growing community advancing the use of genomic data in naming microorganisms.

This is a great study, and both codes are doing their best to serve our scientific community. The SeqCode recognizes names validly published under the ICNP and their priorities; thus, Patescibacteriota it is. We hope this promotes the reuse of existing names where possible.
