16Sgeeni

16S geeni is a public repository of 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences. The database is primarily used for DNA barcode analysis, particularly for identifying species of microorganisms such as bacteria and archaea. The 16S rDNA region is commonly used as a genetic marker for species identification due to its conservation across species and its variability between different taxonomic groups.

The database contains 16S rDNA sequences from various sources, including publicly available sequences deposited in GenBank and other databases, as well as sequences generated in-house. The repository includes sequences from a wide range of organisms, including both cultured and uncultured microorganisms.

The primary goal of the 16S geeni database is to provide a comprehensive resource for the identification and classification of microorganisms. By providing access to a large number of 16S rDNA sequences, researchers can rapidly compare and identify sequences from their own studies to known sequences in the database.

The repository also allows users to submit their own sequences for inclusion in the database. This feature enables researchers to share their data with the broader scientific community and contributes to the overall development of the 16S geeni database.

Though primarily focused on microorganisms, 16S geeni has applications in various fields of research, including environmental microbiology, microbial ecology, and phylogenetics. Its utility as a reference database for 16S rDNA sequences has made it a valuable resource for researchers studying the diversity and distribution of microorganisms in various ecosystems.
