DATABASES

- Non-canonical Base Pair Database

The primary objective of this database is to provide rapid access to all the RNA structures in which a particular rare base pair has been found. A secondary objective is to summarize the important properties that have been associated with each non-canonical base pair. A literature survey of RNA structures was performed to obtain information on the non-canonical base pairs......


- Prokaryotic 16S rRNA Signature Database

Signature sequences in 16S rRNA sequence dataset are local sequence segments that are highly characteristic of particular organisms or groups of organisms. The computatioal work conducted in this laboratory reveals that these highly characteristic oligonucleotides exist in the bacterial 16S rRNA sequence dataset in large numbers......


- Although a variety of molecular techniques are used, including G+C content determination and nucleic acid hybridization techniques, the comparison of 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) sequences is now of particular importance. These ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules are ideal for microbial evolution and relatedness studies because......



- Microorganisms associated with Space Environments

This website aims to serve as a repository for all bacterial and fungal organisms routinely isolated or associated with any space research program to date...
