Release notes

2026-07

A subset of 347,082 genomes has been re-annotated using the Full mode of mettannotator, which includes InterProScan, UniFIRE and SanntiS annotations.
Columns in the AMR genotypes and Combined phenotypes and genotypes tables across the portal, Parquet files, and DuckDB have been updated:

Change	Previous name	New name
Added	—	Annotation tool version
Added	—	Annotation tool mode
Removed	Evidence type	—
Renamed	Evidence accession	HMM evidence accession
Renamed	Evidence description	HMM evidence description
Added	—	Amrfinderplus method
Added	—	Reference accession
Added	—	Reference name
Added	—	Reference sequence coverage
Added	—	Reference sequence identity

Annotation tool version and Annotation tool mode indicate the mettannotator version and mode (Fast or Full) used for each genome.

Antibiotic names are now assigned more consistently to genotypes produced by AMRFinderPlus, where available. This results in an additional 113,082 genotypes with an assigned antibiotic name.
A search functionality has been added to the portal.
Annotations can now be viewed in a genome browser via the View in Browser button.
Documentation has been updated to reflect the schema changes above and the new portal features.
A table detailing mandatory fields for AMR data submission has been added to the AMR submission guide.

32,000 new genomes introduced to genotypes
