what should our signature names look like for databases? about databases HOT 2 CLOSED

For wort I generated a name closer to GTBD:
GCF_000246355.1 Leptospira kirschneri serovar Mozdok str. 'B 81/7 type 3/Tsaratsovo' strain=B 81/7 type 3/Tsaratsovo, CLC_glsol0

I generate it from assembly_summary.txt, using assembly_accession, organism_name, infraspecific_name (if there is one) and finally a comma and asm_name.

This example is pretty much the worst case I found: long name, with ' in the middle (so I need to escape properly in the shell). But the crucial point is using GCF_000246355.1 in the first position, because --name-from-first in NCBI assemblies is a mess for our use cases.

we've standardized over the last two years on putting the identifier first, as above, and we use this for pretty everything (including sourmash taxonomy, and picklists). Everything seems to work fine ;). Closing as resolved 🎉 !
