What Goes Into Sprout?

The Sprout contains a subset of the SEED data computed from a snapshot taken roughly once every two weeks. The subset is determined by a selection of genomes and a selection of subsystems. The default behavior is

  • All complete genomes are loaded. A genome is considered complete if its organism directory contains a file named COMPLETE.
  • All NMPDR subsystems are loaded. A subsystem is considered NMPDR if it has a file named NMPDR in its directory. The $fig->nmpdr_subsystem method is used to make this determination. (Note that prior to 10/29/2006, a more inclusive criterion was used.)

This behavior can be overridden by creating special files listing the genomes and/or subsystems to be loaded.

The Sprout load normally takes place over a period of two to three days after the previous version rolls over.

I have sometimes used the classification demo when showing people how to make a ss, so that should also be on the delete list. I mostly do this on the public seed, not the annotators seed, so it shouldn't be an issue
