Phylogenetically compressed 661k collection (.tar.xz) - High quality genomes

Phylogenetically compressed 661k collection (high-quality genomes only) with XZ as a low-level compressor. More information can be found on https://brinda.eu/mof/. Batching is done with the GTDBk classification from: https://bakrep.computational.bio/search. Criteria for genomes: Size between 100 kbp and 15 Mbp Fewer than 2,000 contigs N50 greater than 5,000 Completeness ≥ 90% Contamination ≤ 5% These criteria yield 631,561 assemblies, compared to the 639,981 reported in the original 661k paper. Due to file count limitations on Zenodo, the 284 batches are grouped into 99 tar files. Metadata is provided to indicate which tar file contains each batch.
