Regards, Shafagat

Hanon McShea

^16s rRNA does have problems, particularly for determining relationships among species, but my understanding is that it still resolves relationships among higher taxa, and is definitely useful for species identification.

Silva (https://www.arb-silva.de) is a good database that I've used in the past!
