  • include "rRNA" in Feature Key
  • include 16S", "RRS" or "SSU" in the product line of Qulifier Key.
• After extraction, the sequences whose length is 300bp or less and which ar recognized as the antisense were removed.
• Anonymous FTP:
  • File Name : 16S.seq.gz (FASTA format)
  • This data is also available from "Anonymous FTP of the DDBJ".
