New studies are documenting trophic cascades in theoretically unlikely systems such as
tropical forests and the open ocean. Together with increasing evidence of cascades, there is …

Diabetes is one of the fastest growing diseases worldwide, projected to affect 693 million
adults by 2045. Devastating macrovascular complications (cardiovascular disease) and …

With the quantity of genomic data increasing at an exponential rate, it is imperative that
these data be captured electronically, in a standard format. Standardization activities must …

Because freshwater covers such a small fraction of the Earth's surface area, inland
freshwater ecosystems (particularly lakes, rivers, and reservoirs) have rarely been …

Abstract The Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) provides researchers with quality-
controlled bacterial and archaeal small subunit rRNA alignments and analysis tools. An …

Cancers arise owing to mutations in a subset of genes that confer growth advantage. The
availability of the human genome sequence led us to propose that systematic resequencing …

ABSTRACT The Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) Classifier, a naïve Bayesian
classifier, can rapidly and accurately classify bacterial 16S rRNA sequences into the new …

Abstract Ribosomal Database Project (RDP; http://rdp. cme. msu. edu/) provides the
research community with aligned and annotated rRNA gene sequence data, along with tools …

An understanding of the basic defect in the inherited disorder cystic fibrosis requires cloning
of the cystic fibrosis gene and definition of its protein product. In the absence of direct …

One of the major impediments to the integration of lentic ecosystems into global
environmental analyses has been fragmentary data on the extent and size distribution of …
