-          The large amount of bacterial genomic data in public genome databases
-          is an important resource for research in various fields. However, most
-          of this data has been processed differently, making accurate
-          comparisons challenging. <em>Blackwell et al</em>., used a uniform
-          approach to assemble and characterise 661,405 bacterial genomes
-          retrieved from the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) in November of
-          2018. We build up on this resource and further analyse the assembled
-          genomes in a standardised manner. We conducted a robust taxonomic
-          classification using the Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB) and
-          furthermore subtyped all eligible genomes via multilocus-sequence
-          typing. In addition we annotated all genomes assigning functional
-          categories, e.g. COG and E.C., and database cross references to public
-          databases. The overarching goal is to make this standardised resource
-          available to non-bioinformaticians via an interactive website. This
-          website will provide researchers with a flexible search engine to
-          query the repository

+            >640,000 bacterial genomes, uniformly processed & characterized, enriched with metadata, accessible via a flexible search engine<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- genomic information at your fingertips!

+        <p>
+            Public databases are brimming with bacterial WGS data posing a genetic treasure for many different applications. 
+            However, most analyses focus on particular tiny subgroups that are hard to establish from raw sequencing data or metadata, only. 
+            To this end, BakRep (Denglish blend of Bakterien & Repository) provides access to both comprehensive standardized genome characterizations and metadata via a flexible search engine.
