DATABASE ON THE STRUCTURE OF SMALL RIBOSOMAL-SUBUNIT RNA

About 8600 complete or nearly complete sequences are now available fro m the Antwerp database on small ribosomal subunit RNA. All these seque nces are aligned with one another on the basis of the adopted secondar y structure model, which is corroborated by the observation of compens ating substitutions in the alignment. Literature references, accession numbers and detailed taxonomic information are also compiled, The dat abase can be consulted via the World Wide Web at URL http://rrna.uia.a c.be/ssu/.
