<template #why-do-some-names-not-appear-in-the-gtdb-taxonomy>
Effectively published Latin names above the rank of genus without designated type material,
either a sequenced type strain or MAG, will no longer be incorporated into GTDB, and those that do
will only be introduced when the associated type genome is present in GTDB. This change is necessary as
establishing the correct interior node in the reference tree for taxa without type material can be ambiguous,
particularly when the addition of new genomes or alternative inference methods results in the named taxon
becoming polyphyletic in later releases.
