BacSelect is a reproducible resource for selecting compact, nested panels of complete bacterial genome assemblies that span genome architecture. From a defined and versioned public genome universe, BacSelect deterministically selects assemblies so users can choose a panel size from N=10–500 while retaining nestedness across scales. Versioned releases provide genome-panel manifests, downloadable assemblies, structural-coverage information, checksums and provenance for reproducible benchmarking, method development and comparative genomics.
