Identifying genomic data use with the Data Citation Explorer.

Increases in sequencing capacity, combined with rapid accumulation of publications and associated data resources, have increased the complexity of maintaining associations between literature and genomic data. As the volume of literature and data have exceeded the capacity of manual curation, automated approaches to maintaining and confirming associations among these resources have become necessary. Here we present the Data Citation Explorer (DCE), which discovers literature incorporating genomic data that was not formally cited.

Valid publication of the names of forty-two phyla of prokaryotes.

After the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP) had voted to include the rank of phylum in the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP), and following publication of the decision in the IJSEM, we here present names and formal descriptions of 42 phyla to effect valid publication of their names, based on genera as the nomenclatural types.
