Abstract

Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive model bacterium and one of the most-studied and best understood organisms. The complex information resulting from its investigation is compiled in the database SubtiWiki (https://subtiwiki.uni-goettingen.de/v5) in an integrated and intuitive manner. To enhance the utility of SubtiWiki, we have added novel features such as a viewer to interrogate conserved genomic organization, a widget that shows mutant fitness data for all non-essential genes, and a widget showing protein structures, structure predictions and complex structures. Moreover, we have integrated metabolites as new entities. The new framework also includes a documented API, enabling programmatic access to data for computational tasks. Here we present the recent developments of SubtiWiki and the current state of the data for this organism.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
