title: 16S rRNA oligonucleotide catalog data base.
abstract: We have developed a package of programs to create, maintain and manipulate a data base of 16S rRNA oligonucleotide catalog data. For the first time all the published catalog data is brought together in one place in a readily usable form. The package allows generation of dendrograms, facilitates searches for related oligonucleotides between catalogs, and allows construction of global and local dictionaries. Interactive capabilities allow for searches of the dictionary as well as an associated file of likely oligonucleotide families.
