PHYLOS grumblings

Last I checked the entire phylos database is 100% useless garbage because they wanted to be cheap af and only ever sequenced partial, completely random, genome pieces(genotyping by sequencing) instead of sequencing the entire genomes of each plant sample they got :see_no_evil:

That’s why a bunch of known different clone-only plants can come out showing as the SAME plant on the Galaxy even tho they are most definitely not even the same plant at all. Like sending in the TK and a TK S1 and phylos says they’re both the same cuts when you clearly selfed it yourself. Or parents of known crosses and the cross itself showing up as completely UNRELATED plants.
