As previously announced, NCBI is continually making improvements to our Taxonomy resource in response to new data and changes in biological nomenclature. We recently made classification changes to budding yeasts and allies (Saccharomycotina), which consists of more than 1,200 species and exhibits levels of genomic diversity similar to those of plants and animals. This update affects more than six million records. Check out our new Taxonomy browser in NCBI Datasets. 

What’s new?

As part of this update, we are introducing six new classes and 10 new orders. Please see table below for details.
