%X The Protist Ribosomal Reference database (PR2)
provides a unique access to eukaryotic small sub-unit (SSU) ribosomal
RNA and DNA sequences, with curated taxonomy. The
database mainly consists of nuclear-encoded
protistan sequences. However, metazoans, land plants, macrosporic fungi
and eukaryotic
organelles (mitochondrion, plastid and others) are
also included because they are useful for the analysis of high-troughput
sequencing data sets. Introns and putative chimeric
sequences have been also carefully checked. Taxonomic assignation of
sequences
consists of eight unique taxonomic fields.
The original web site (http://ssu-rrna.org/pr2) is currently out and we are proposing updated version of PR2 as flat files to use for annotating metabarcodes.
