Description
Robert Bowers, Nikos Kyrpides, Ramunas Stepanauskas, and a large group proposed genome reporting standards in 2017. Most microbes cannot be grown in culture. Their genomes come from single cells or from mixed community samples instead.
The MISAG and MIMAG standards set what must be reported with such genomes. They grade genomes by completeness and contamination and ask for basic facts like size and gene counts. Shared grades let databases and readers judge quality at a glance. The standards brought order to a flood of uncultivated genomes entering public archives. Journals and databases were urged to ask authors for these data with every genome submission.
