GINSA: an accumulator for paired locality and next-generation small ribosomal subunit sequence data.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

Motivated by the challenges of decentralized genetic data spread across multiple international organizations, GINSA leverages the Global Biodiversity Information Facility infrastructure to automatically retrieve and link small ribosomal subunit sequences with locality information.

Results

Testing on taxa from major organism groups demonstrates broad applicability across taxonomic levels and dataset sizes.

Availability and implementation

GINSA is a freely accessible Python program under the MIT License and can be installed from PyPI via pip.
