Lack of data provenance negatively impacts scientific reproducibility and the reliability of genomic data. The ATCC Genome Portal (https://genomes.atcc.org) addresses this by providing data provenance information for microbial whole-genome assemblies originating from authenticated biological materials. To date, we have sequenced 1,579 complete genomes, including 466 type strains and 1,156 novel genomes.
