| Qualifier | metagenome_source |
| Definition | sequences from a Metagenome Assembled Genome (MAG), i.e a single-taxon assembly drawn from a binned metagenome, are specified with this qualifier to indicate that the assembly is derived from a metagenomic source, rather than from an isolated organism. Where this qualifier is present it must contain the word "metagenome" and must exist in the NCBI taxonomy database: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/ |
| Value Format | "text" |
| Example | /metagenome_source="human gut metagenome" /metagenome_source="soil metagenome" |
| Comment | the qualifier /metagenome_source is mandatory when a single-taxon sequence is derived from a metagenome; sequences with a /metagenome_source require also an /environmental_sample qualifier. |
