This dataset consists of the FunTaxDB database used for the uBin software. The uBin software is designed to facilitate the curation of metagenome-asssembled genomes (MAGs). Please see a preprint on the uBin software on https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.15.204776v2 . The FunTaxDB is based on the UniRef100 database with additional taxonomic strings in the FASTA headers. Those entries that did not have a taxonomic affiliation, were additionally BLASTed vs the ncbi-nr database. Entries that had a 100% similarity match to NCBI-nr recieved the NCBI-nr taxonomic affiliation of the matched record. Special characters in the taxonomic levels, separated by ';', were replaced by underscores to make working with regex less error-prone.
