Here is a list of what is changing:

1. All databases at the root level will be dbV5.
2. The dbV5 file naming,  “_v5” will be removed. Databases with  no “_vX” descriptor will be dbV5.
3. dbV4 tarballs will be renamed with "_v4", files included in tarball will not be renamed.
4. dbV4 databases will be moved to a v4 subdirectory.
5. As of 1/13/20 the Cloud directory will be frozen with no more new entries.
6. The will be no more updates to dbV4 databases.
7. The FASTA directory will contain nr, nt, swissprot, and pdbaa files.

The enzyme portal integrates many resources, most of them hosted by EBI and also external ones such as BioPortal. Its main goal is to provide information about enzymes in a suitable format, with a usable interface designed for intended users. Instead of reinventing the wheel, it makes use of available and reliable resources to that end.

More recently, we've been enthused about using k-mer based similarity measures and computing and searching k-mer-based sketch search databases for all the things.

But I haven't spent too much talking about using k-mers for taxonomy, although that has become an ahem area of interest recently, if you read into our papers a bit.

In this blog post I'm going to fix this by doing a little bit of a literature review and waxing enthusiastic about other people's work. Then in a future blog post I'll talk about how we're building off of this work in fun! and interesting? ways!
