Genomes FTP site update (version 1.2) expands taxonomic scope and more

NCBI has released a comprehensive update of all current genome assemblies in the Genomes FTP site, affecting data reported in the /genomes/all/, /genomes/genbank/, and /genomes/refseq/ FTP directories. This update expands the taxonomic scope of the /refseq/ data and adds a new report file, a data conversion script, and more. The FTP content of all "latest" GenBank and RefSeq assemblies was updated to reflect these changes.
