| Description: | RiboGrove is a database of 16S rRNA gene sequences of bacteria and archaea. RiboGrove contains full-length sequences of 16S rRNA genes. The sequences are derived from completely assembled prokaryotic genomes deposited in RefSeq. All genomes used for RiboGrove construction are divided into categories according to their expected reliability. Additionally, RiboGrove provides various related information such as intragenomic variability of 16S rRNA genes, 16S rRNA copy number per genome, percent coverage of popular primer pairs for different bacterial and archaeal 16S rDNA V-regions, etc. |

RiboGrove: a database of full-length prokaryotic 16S rRNA genes derived from completely assembled genomes. [PMID: 35217168]
16S rRNA gene is frequently used for the identification of prokaryotic organisms and for phylogeny inference. Several specialized public databases exist that contain complete and partial sequences of 16S rRNA genes. In this paper, we present RiboGrove: the first publicly available database that comprises only full-length sequences of 16S rRNA genes originating from completely assembled prokaryotic genomes deposited in RefSeq. Despite being strongly biased towards frequently sequenced genomes, RiboGrove is a useful complement to existing 16S rRNA resources and allows for analyses that would not be possible using amplicon-derived gene sequences. For instance, the absence of partial gene sequences in RiboGrove allowed us to make a summary of prokaryotic organisms, which lack core anti-Shine-Dalgarno sequence in their 16S rRNA genes. In this study, we describe the collected sequence data and present the results of exploratory data analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences. |
