StrainInfo-the central database for linked microbial strain identifiers

Throughout scientific literature and databases, microbial strains are often distinguished using either non-standardized designations or one of several available culture collection numbers. The fact that different sources use different strain identifiers to describe the same strain significantly impedes the findability, reusability, and integration of published information, and also affects the reproducibility of results. In order to ensure the traceability of microbial strains, the new...
