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.
