We found that 2,495 / 98,776 (2.5%) *unique* species were annotated with more than one taxonomic lineage due to the way SILVA curates taxonomic lineages using an automated phylogeny-based method (combined with manual curation for certain groups). This affects 335,983 / 510,984 (66%) of all the sequneces in the SILVA fasta file. +We checked for the presence of species with more than one unique taxonomic lineage using the check_for_SILVA_inconsistencies.plx script in the CheckSilva138Taxonomy directory.
