NCBI genome stats

Question

[Chirag Parsania]

Where can I find taxonomy-wise NCBI genome stats? For example, how many genomes are sequenced in prokaryotes, in fungi, metazoa, etc?

Thanks.

NCBI Datasets is great if you just want to browse available genomes. Entrez Direct allows programmatic access to NCBI taxonomy information as well.

Use Genomes Browser from NCBI. Broad categories can be found at top left of the page. As for things like fungi you can search with those terms.
