A paper released in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology[10] evaluated the 16S rRNA gene sequencing results analyzed with GenBank in conjunction with other freely available, quality-controlled, web-based public databases, such as the EzTaxon-e (https://web.archive.org/web/20130928154318/http://eztaxon-e.ezbiocloud.net/) and the BIBI (https://web.archive.org/web/20151001000357/http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/bibi/) databases. The results showed that analyses performed using GenBank combined with EzTaxon-e (kappa = 0.79) were more discriminative than using GenBank (kappa = 0.66) or other databases alone.
