RIDOM -- Ribosomal Differentiation of Medical Micro-organisms Database

URL:

http://www.ridom-rdna.de/

What you can do:

Differentiate medical microorganisms based on partial small subunit ribosomal DNA (16S rDNA) sequence.

Highlights:

This web server is an evolving electronic resource designed to provide micro-organism differentiation services for medical identification needs.
The diagnostic procedure begins with a specimen partial small subunit ribosomal DNA (16S rDNA) sequence.
Resulting from a similarity search, a species or genus name for the specimen in question will be returned.
Where the first results are ambiguous or do not define to species level, hints for further molecular, i.e. internal transcribed spacer, and conventional phenotypic differentiation will be offered (x91sequential and polyphasic approachx92).
Additionally, each entry in RIDOM contains detailed medical and taxonomic information linked, context-sensitive, to external World Wide Web services.
Nearly all sequences are newly determined and the sequence chromatograms are available for intersubjective quality control.
