Although these resources have focused on prokaryotes, genomes from many dominant marine lineages, such as <i>Pelagibacter</i> and <i>Prochlorococcus</i>, are conspicuously underrepresented. Here we present the Great Barrier Reef Microbial Genomes Database (GBR-MGD), comprising 5,283 prokaryotic genomes obtained from Great&nbsp;Barrier&nbsp;Reef seawater samples using Nanopore and Illumina sequencing, including a collection of high-quality genomes of underrepresented groups. We show that standard short-read assemblies miss these populations owing to a combination of strain heterogeneity and low-GC-percentage sequencing bias. The GBR-MGD also comprises 20 chromosome-level picoeukaryote and 808,585 viral genomes, including a newly described clade of marine <i>Crassvirales</i>. We demonstrate the utility of the GBR-MGD to identify indicator taxa that can reliably predict the effects of reef management practices, such as the establishment of marine protected zones.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"The planktonic microbiome of the Great Barrier Reef","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-10-11 01:33:36.616601","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2026,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2026-09-15","DateCreate":"2026-09-15","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1038/s41586-026-10778-z"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":447883,"PubliDate":2026,"Pagination":"426-435","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"657","Issue":"8131","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43431,"SerRR":"Nature: International Weekly Journal of Science.
