Welcome to microbe.cards

This platform represents an effort to synchronize phenotypic information for microbes. We have applied and collected various models, primarily Large Language Model (LLM) based, to predict phenotypes and compare these predictions to high-quality phenotypes documented in scientific literature or phenotyping studies. For each microbe, we've generated a "card" page that collects this information and illustrates how the predictions overlap with ground truth. Additionally, we provide model performance estimates for widely used public LLM models based on these high-quality data. Use the search functionality below to explore these microbe cards and compare predictions with documented phenotypes.
