UniEuk

Universal taxonomic framework and integrated reference gene databases for Eukaryotic biology, ecology, and evolution

The Website is currently being migrated and will be back shortly!

UniEuk is an open, inclusive, community-based and expert-driven international initiative to build a flexible, adaptive universal taxonomic framework for eukaryotes.

It comprises three complementary modules, EukRef, EukBank, and EukMap, to unite community knowledge and data from phylogenetic markers and environmental metabarcoding surveys to inform the taxonomic framework.

The resulting UniEuk taxonomy is regularly implemented at EMBL-EBI and NCBI, ensuring its long-term preservation and broad use as a reference taxonomy for eukaryotes.

Our taxonomy curation platform EukMap has been launched and can be accessed at https://eukmap.unieuk.net. The platform hosts the latest version of the UniEuk taxonomy.

Feedback regarding the taxonomy, currently, can be provided by raising issues in our GitHub contributions repository or by providing “pull requests”. Detailed documentation can found in our contributions wiki.
