BTyper3: In silico taxonomic classification of Bacillus cereus group isolates using assembled genomes
BTyper3 is a command-line tool for taxonomically classifying Bacillus cereus group genomes using a standardized nomenclature
The program, as well as the associated databases, can be downloaded from https://github.com/lmc297/BTyper3.

Disclaimer: BTyper3 is pretty neat! However, no tool is perfect, and BTyper3 cannot definitively prove whether an isolate is pathogenic or not. As always, interpret your results with caution. We are not responsible for taxonomic misclassifications, misclassifications of an isolate's pathogenic potential or industrial utility, and/or misinterpretations (biological, statistical, or otherwise) of BTyper3 results.
