GTDB-Tk is a software toolkit for assigning objective taxonomic classifications to bacterial and archaeal genomes based 
on the Genome Database Taxonomy ([GTDB](https://gtdb.ecogenomic.org/)). It is designed to work with recent advances that 
allow hundreds or thousands of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) to be obtained directly from environmental samples. 
It can also be applied to isolate and single-cell genomes. The GTDB-Tk is open source and released under the 
[GNU General Public License (Version 3)](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html).

Notifications about GTDB-Tk releases will be available through the [GTDB Twitter](https://twitter.com/ace_gtdb) 
account and the [GTDB Announcements Forum](https://forum.gtdb.ecogenomic.org/c/announcements/10).

Please post questions and issues related to GTDB-Tk on the Issues section of the GitHub repository. Questions 
related to the [GTDB](https://gtdb.ecogenomic.org/) can be posted on the [GTDB Forum](https://forum.gtdb.ecogenomic.org/) 
or sent to the [GTDB team](https://gtdb.ecogenomic.org/about).


## 🚀 Getting started

Be sure to check the [hardware requirements](https://ecogenomics.github.io/GTDBTk/installing/index.html), then choose your preferred method:

* [Bioconda](https://ecogenomics.github.io/GTDBTk/installing/bioconda.html)
* [Docker](https://ecogenomics.github.io/GTDBTk/installing/docker.html)
* [pip](https://ecogenomics.github.io/GTDBTk/installing/pip.html)


## 📖 Documentation

Documentation for GTDB-Tk can be found [here](https://ecogenomics.github.io/GTDBTk/).


## ✨ New Features

GTDB-Tk v2.2.0+ includes the following new features:
- GTDB-TK `classify` and `classify_wf` have changed in version 2.2.0+. There is now an ANI classification stage (`ANI screen`) that precedes classification by placement in a reference tree.
  - **This is now the default behavior for `classify` and `classify_wf`.**
  - In `classify`, user genomes are first compared against a Mash database comprised of all GTDB representative genomes and genome pairs of sufficient similarity processed by FastANI. User genomes classified to a GTDB representative based on FastANI results are not run through pplacer. 
  - In the `classify_wf` workflow, genomes are classified using Mash and FastANI before executing the identify step. User genomes classified with FastANI are not run through the remainder of the pipeline (identify, align, classify).
  - To classify genomes without the additional `ani_screen` step, use the `--skip_ani_screen` flag.

## 📈 Performance
Using ANI screen "can" reduce computation by >50%, although it depends on the set of input genomes. A set of input genomes consisting primarily of new species will not benefit from ANI screen as much as a set of genomes that are largely assigned to GTDB species clusters. In the latter case, the ANI screen will reduce the number of genomes that need to be classified by pplacer which reduces computation time subsantially (between 25% and 60% in our testing).
