FAQs
----

Which types of organism work with ``SPECIMEN``?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

``SPECIMEN`` was originally written for prokaryota. However, adapting ``SPECIMEN`` to work with 
other organism types is something we hope to archieve with a future update. 
Currently, the workflows have yet to be tested on types of organism other than prokaryota.

Which namespaces can I use?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

While we are working towards namespace independency, currently,
it is advised to stick to the BiGG namespace.
