Quick Help (more help is available)
RDP's ProbeMatch finds sequences matching your probe in the RDP's database of 16s rRNAs. A list of probes is available at sites such as Probebase. Use programs such as Primrose or ARB to assist you with phylogenetic probe design.
Probe: Please enter your probe in the 5' to 3' direction. Only IUPAC codons can be used, including ambiguity codons. Your probe must be less then 64 bases in length.
Restrict to Domain: Search only Archaea or Bacteria sequences, if desired.
E.coli Region: Only search sequences with sequence data in the specified E.coli region (GenBank J01695). There are many partial 16S sequences in the RDP database that may be missing data in the region your probe targets. This function can be useful if you're interested in what sequences your probe does not match. A histogram of the number of RDP sequences spanning each base position can be found on resources.
