Rapid determination of 16S ribosomal RNA sequences for phylogenetic analyses

TL;DR: A protocol is described for rapidly generating large blocks of 16S rRNA sequence data without isolation of the 16 S rRNA or cloning of its gene, and its phylogenetic usefulness is evaluated by examination of several 17S rRNAs whose gene sequences are known.
Journal ArticleDOI

The rdp (ribosomal database project)

TL;DR: The Ribosomal Database Project (RDP-II), previously described by Maidak et al. (2000), continued during the past year to add new rRNA sequences to the aligned data and to improve the analysis commands.
