A repository containing databases developed in the Brune lab.
These databases are compatible with the mothur software and can be used with the classify.seqs command.
If you use the Oxymonadida and/or Parabasalia databases, please cite Efficient but occasionally imperfect vertical transmission of gut mutualistic protists in a wood‐feeding termite (Michaud et al, 2020, Molecular Ecology, 29:308–324).
Regarding the archaeal database, we provide both mothur-formatted and arb files. If you use this database, please cite Diversity and taxonomic revision of methanogens and other archaea in the intestinal tract of terrestrial arthropods (Protasov et al, 2023, Front. Microbiol).
