Abstract
The Identification and Classification of Bacteria (ICB) database (http:/www .mbio.co.jp/icb) contains currently available information about the DNA gyr ase subunit B (gyrB) gene in bacteria. The database is designed to provide the scientific community with a reference point for using gyrB as an evolut ionary and taxonomic marker. Nucleic and amino acid sequence data are curre ntly available for over 850 strains, along with alignments at several diffe rent taxonomic levels and an exhaustive review of; primer selection and bac kground information.
