rbcL reference sequences of marine and freshwater diatoms

This database has been modified from the R-syst::Diatom rbcL database, version 9, accessed on 3.18.2021. (see Rimet et al.2016 for details)

Sequences of mostly Pseudo-nitzschia from the Gulf of Trieste and some others missing from the database were added.

The names of the sequences in the .fasta file are formatted in a way that they can be used directly in dada2 for taxonomic classification. 

This database represents a comprehensive marine diatom sequence archive.
