Description:

• The tpm gene codes for the thiopurine-S-methyltransferase (TPMT), an enzyme that can detoxify metalloid-containing oxyanions and xenobiotics (Cournoyer et al., 1998). Bacterial TPMTs radiated apart from human and animal TPMTs, and showed a vertical evolution in line with the 16S rRNA gene molecular phylogeny (Favre‐Bonté et al., 2005).
• The tpm database, named BACtpm, was designed to apply the tpm-metabarcoding analytical scheme published in Aigle et al. (2021). It includes the full tpm identifiers, GenBank accession numbers, complete taxonomic records (domain down to strain code) of about 215 nucleotide-long tpm sequences of 840 unique taxa belonging to 139 genera.
• Nucleotide sequences of tpm (range: 190-233 nucleotides) were either retrieved from public repositories (GenBank) or made available by B. Cournoyer’s research group. Colin et al. (2020) described the PCR and high throughput Illumina Miseq DNA sequencing procedures used to produce tpm sequences.
• BACtpm v.2.0.0 (June 2021 release) is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence. It can be used for the taxonomic allocations of tpm sequences down to the species and strain levels. Data is stored in the csv format enabling future user to reformat it to fit their specific needs.
