RESCRIPT: species information in GTDB

Hi @SoilRotifer,

I noticed that when using "qiime rescript get-gtdb-data", the species-level info is incomplete. For example, "s__Escherichia coli" only shows as "s__Escherichia", missing everything after the space.This makes genus and species levels look the same, may because of GTDB's taxonomy system. Looks like this might be a bug worth reporting to the maintainers.

Just a heads-up! Thanks!

Hi @GSH ,
Thanks for this information. This bug was already discovered in June 2024 and fixed in versions 2024.5.1 and later, as announced here:

Could you please install the latest version and let us know if you still encounter an issue?

Hi, @Nicholas_Bokulich

My conda version doesn't support installing up to 2024.5, so I installed 2024.2 instead. However, I’ve already resolved the issue by matching the species information from the GTDB database.

Thanks for your efforts!
