Database and sorted pre-built single database for rRNA

[luigallucci]

Hi all!

I was wondering which is the differences in the database provided following the Documentation page and the once provided in the data folder (silva_bac...etc).

Giving a look to the smr_v4.3_fast_db.fasta, seems that its contain the different rRNA sequence with index to respect their origin region (16S, 5S, etc..), but I would like to know if I use this one or the single 16S, 5S etc., the output change or is anyway affected by the use of one or the other.

I hope is not a totally stupid question, but I was starting to work with metatranscriptomes and I would like to be precise for documenting my work. :)

Hello,

We provide descriptions of the databases in Issue 292, does this help?

Thanks,
