Taxonomy and molecular identification

A taxonomy tool
to rule them all.

Taxonomic and molecular identification tools for biological collections, biodiversity databases and scientific applications.

Search taxonomic datasets locally, resolve current accepted names or identify biological sequences using molecular reference data.

Local taxonomic database

Complete taxonomic datasets deployed locally for fast searches, autocomplete and direct data access.

Datasets LPSN · MycoBank · GBIF

Accepted-name resolution

Resolve the current accepted name of a taxon through authoritative external taxonomic providers.

Providers LPSN · MycoBank · GBIF

Molecular identification

Identify biological sequences against molecular reference databases and preserve the resulting analysis.

Reference data NCBI · UNITE · SILVA
Analysis record MTAX

Built from real workflows

From taxonomy to biological knowledge

mentaxonomy was originally developed as the taxonomic infrastructure behind menta® , the biological collection management platform developed by Menta Soluciones . It has evolved into a modular set of tools for taxonomy and molecular identification that can also be integrated into other scientific applications and data workflows.

Built for scientific software
