Taxonomy in Flux
•
•
•
•
Incongruent taxonomic nomenclature even at phylum
level.
Making multiple taxonomic classifications available
through Greengenes will aid in standardizing
classification, particularly for environmental lineages.
Greengenes integrates each, allowing a balanced
approach to nomenclature of newly discovered
organisms.
EXAMPLE: Halanaerobium salsugo
Hugenholtz=Bacteria; Haloanaerobiales;
Haloanaerobiaceae; Haloanaerobium/ Haloincola
Ludwig=Bacteria; Haloanaerobiales;
Haloanaerobiacae; Haloanaerobium
Pace=Bacteria; Haloanaerobiales;
Haloanaerobiaceae; Haloanaerobium/ Haloincola

Each yellow dot
represents a named phyla
Only a fraction of the phyla
are recognized by all five
major curators.
Probe/Primer Design
Check phylogenetic
scope of a primer
or probe.
Web-accessible repository for DNA microarray data.
Password protected Database is being
developed to allow authorized users to
search for bacteria of interest by city or by
time (date). Weather data corresponding
to the collection dates will be linked.
Given that there are over 9,000 OTUs detectable
per chip, the database will provide information on
more than 2 million data points that can be viewed
in relation to weather patterns.
Example of how
bacterial groups can
be mapped to
geographic location.

D1D2 analysis
• 12,422 aligned D1D1 regions are in our
database
• representing 1909 fungal taxa (according to
annotation distributed by NCBI
• 5,488 OTUs were found.
• 2,283 OTUs had 1 or more great probes
• 3,801 OTUs had a distributed solution
• 4,828 OTUs have probes that could all be
triggered by <= 5 other OTUs
