SILVA in 2026: a global core biodata resource for rRNA within the DSMZ digital diversity.

ABSTRACT: Since 2007, the SILVA database (https://www.arb-silva.de/) has served as a comprehensive resource providing quality-checked, aligned, and classified ribosomal RNA sequences for the scientific community worldwide. The database provides manually curated taxonomic classifications for the three domains of life, standardized reference datasets, and tools for classifying microbial diversity. SILVA's impact has been recognized in its designation as ELIXIR Core Data Resource and Global Core Biodata Resource. The integration of SILVA into the DSMZ Digital Diversity consortium (D3; https://hub.dsmz.de) in 2023 marked a significant update, ensuring the long-term sustainability and continued development of the resource. Apart from moving to a new hosting institution, this integration facilitates data
