WELCOME TO
Cydrasil is a comprehensive, manually curated Cyanobacterial reference package containing over 1300 16S rRNA gene sequences with lengths exceeding 1100 base pairs. Cydrasil offers a curated alignment and a maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree that can be used for either sequence placement or de novo phylogenetic reconstructions. Cydrasil leverages phylogenetic placement to provide a complete phylogenetic perspective within the cyanobacterial radiation of a new isolate or sequences from amplicon studies.
THE 3 C'S OF THE CYDRASIL PROJECT
Comprehensive
Cydrasil contains Cyanobacterial representatives from a wide range of habitats, providing extensive phylogenetic coverage for your analysis.
Curated
All sequences in Cydrasil have been manually checked for sequencing and taxonomic errors. If a sequence appears to have an error, the sequence has been flagged with a warning.
Community
Community feedback is essential for the evolution of Cydrasil. We encourage researchers to submit new sequences or clade suggestions that can be incorporated into the next release.
