Older tree versions

Hello, would it be possible to include a dropdown menu on the ‘Taxonomy tree’ page that allows you to select and view how older releases were organized? I really like that GTDB carefully keeps track of changes between versions, but I find the tree easier to navigate than the tables.

Hi Anthony

I am afraid that we cannot provide such an option on the web as it will most likely result in confusion.

We might think of some alternative ways to allow exploration of previous releases via the website but, unfortunately, this is not in our immediate plans.

Currently, one can visualise the changes between releases using Taxon history tool.

You could also access all old files in the GTDB repository under Downloads:
