Aligned bac120 markers

This repository contains alignments of the bac120 markers for all 136646 representative bacterial genomes from release 226 of the GTDB database [1]. To produce these, the unaligned marker sequences were retrieved from the GTDB database and aligned using MAFFT [2] with the --auto option. The full uncompressed alignments require around 277GB of disk space. [1] Parks, D. H., Chuvochina, M., Rinke, C., Mussig, A. J., Chaumeil, P. A., & Hugenholtz, P. (2022).
