Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB; https://gtdb.ecogenomic.org) is an initiative to establish a standardised microbial taxonomy based on genome phylogeny.
GTDB is now cross-referenced from ENA genome assembly pages. Check it out: www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/....

Thank you to @ebi.embl.org for support with setting up these links!
