Journal ArticleDOI
The SILVA ribosomal RNA gene database project: improved data processing and web-based tools
Christian Quast,Elmar Pruesse,Pelin Yilmaz,Jan Gerken,Timmy Schweer,Pablo Yarza,Jörg Peplies,Frank Oliver Glöckner +7 more
TL;DR: The extensively curated SILVA taxonomy and the new non-redundant SILVA datasets provide an ideal reference for high-throughput classification of data from next-generation sequencing approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
SILVA: a comprehensive online resource for quality checked and aligned ribosomal RNA sequence data compatible with ARB
Elmar Pruesse,Christian Quast,Katrin Knittel,Bernhard M. Fuchs,Wolfgang Ludwig,Jörg Peplies,Frank Oliver Glöckner +6 more
TL;DR: SILVA (from Latin silva, forest), was implemented to provide a central comprehensive web resource for up to date, quality controlled databases of aligned rRNA sequences from the Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya domains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of general 16S ribosomal RNA gene PCR primers for classical and next-generation sequencing-based diversity studies
Anna Klindworth,Elmar Pruesse,Timmy Schweer,Jörg Peplies,Christian Quast,Matthias Horn,Frank Oliver Glöckner +6 more
TL;DR: The results of this study may be used as a guideline for selecting primer pairs with the best overall coverage and phylum spectrum for specific applications, therefore reducing the bias in PCR-based microbial diversity studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
SINA: accurate high throughput multiple sequence alignment of ribosomal RNA genes
TL;DR: The SILVA Incremental Aligner (SINA) used to align the rRNA gene databases provided by the SILVA ribosomal RNA project was evaluated and was able to achieve higher accuracy than PyNAST and mothur in all performed benchmarks.
Journal ArticleDOI
The SILVA and "All-species Living Tree Project (LTP)" taxonomic frameworks.
Pelin Yilmaz,Laura Wegener Parfrey,Pablo Yarza,Jan E. Gerken,Elmar Pruesse,Christian Quast,Timmy Schweer,Jörg Peplies,Wolfgang Ludwig,Frank Oliver Glöckner +9 more
TL;DR: The improvements the SILVA taxonomy has undergone in the last 3 years are described, focusing on the curation process, the various resources used for curation and the comparison of the SILva taxonomy with Greengenes and RDP-II taxonomies.
