Files naming are always in the following format:

     MIMt-<marker>_<source>_<YY>_<MM>_<feature>.<ext>

<marker>  --> indicates the marker type [16S, 18S, 23S, 28S, ITS]
<source>  --> indicates the sequences origin [M2c, ""] being M2c seqs from TargetLoci+RefSeq or full version from TargetLoci+RefSeq+Genbank
<YY>      --> Year of the release
<MM>      --> Month of the release
<feature> --> File type for the database [tax, taxid, redundancy, classifier] being tax (fasta with taxonomy), taxid (fasta with taxid), redundancy (species represented by the same sequence in the db), classifier (QIIME2 object)
<ext>     --> File datatype [tax, fna, qza, txt] being tax (ID<tab>taxonomy), fna (nucleotide fasta with taxonomy), qza (QIIME2 object), txt (plain text file)


Ex:

     MIMt-16S_M2c_25_10_taxid.txt

MIMt database for marker 16S in the version only curated (M2c) from October 2025 including the fasta sequences with taxid.
