The Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) is a curated database that offers ribosome-related data, analysis services and associated computer programs. The offerings include phylogenetically ordered alignments of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences, derived phylogenetic trees, rRNA secondary structure diagrams, and various software for handling, analyzing and displaying alignments and trees. The data are available via anonymous FTP (rdp.life.uiuc.edu), electronic mail (server@rdp.life.uiuc.edu), gopher (rdpgopher.life.uiuc.edu) and WWW (http://rdpwww.life.uiuc.edu/ ). The electronic mail and WWW servers provide ribosomal probe checking, approximate phylogenetic placement of user-submitted sequences, screening for possible chimeric rRNA sequences, automated alignment, and a suggested placement of an unknown sequence on an existing phylogenetic tree.
核糖体数据库项目(RDP)是一个经过精心策划的数据库,提供与核糖体相关的数据、分析服务及相关计算机程序。其提供的内容包括核糖体RNA(rRNA)序列的系统发育排序比对、推导的系统发育树、rRNA二级结构图,以及用于处理、分析和显示比对及树的各种软件。数据可通过匿名文件传输协议(rdp.life.uiuc.edu)、电子邮件(server@rdp.life.uiuc.edu)、信息检索系统(rdpgopher.life.uiuc.edu)和万维网(http://rdpwww.life.uiuc.edu/ )获取。电子邮件和万维网服务器提供核糖体探针检查、用户提交序列的近似系统发育定位、可能的嵌合rRNA序列筛选、自动比对,以及在现有系统发育树上对未知序列的建议定位。
