The One Codex Blog

We’re proud to announce a major update to our Targeted Loci Database that adds over 19,000 full-length 16S, 18S, and ITS sequences spanning more than 15,000 bacteria, archaea, and fungal species. Additionally, we’ve enriched sequence diversity for over 2,000 exsting organisms, improved accuracy, and made optimizations to maximize species-level detection. With these updates, our Targeted Loci analysis delivers more comprehensive, accurate results, and it’s available now for all One Codex users.

We’ve just released an updated MLST analysis that includes improved support for short and long-read sequencing data. In addition to these core improvements, we’ve also expanded our organism coverage to support schemes from over 100 clinically and environmentally relevant species. We hope these updates, which are immediately available to all One Codex users, make it even easier to analyze your isolate sequencing data.

One Codex’s updated bioinformatics solution for the Twist Viral Panels now supports Oxford Nanopore and PacBio, improves viral detection sensitivity, and offers customizable reporting thresholds to better fit diverse lab workflows.

Our new AMR detection workflow is now available and features over 8,500 distinct AMR sequences from 59 drug classes, an order of magnitude more than our previous database! This new workflows covers a wide variety of antimicrobial classes and resistance mechanisms.

As part of our partnership with ATCC, the team at One Codex launched Supporting Memberships for the ATCC Genome Portal earlier this year! In this post we’ll walk through some of the awesome new features and capabilities that Supporting Memberships are bringing to ATCC’s collection of 5000 authenticated microbial genomes. Every quarter ATCC will publish additional genomes.
