Availability and requirements The PseudoMLSA database is freely accessible through a web-server at http://www.uib.es/microbiologiaBD/Welcome.html for searches for Pseudomonas strains and multigenic sequence-related information. The PseudoMLSA database is easily
queried from this web interface and whithout special requirements. Researchers involved in the characterisation of Pseudomonas strains are invited to use the database, make suggestions and AP24534 price submit their sequences. All comments, queries, requests and corrections should be sent by email to [email protected]. Furthermore, notifications for new entries in the GenBank for Pseudomonas gene sequences, will be gratefully acknowledged and should be sent to this address via email and accompanied by a reference to a published, peer-reviewed
article. Users of PseudoMLSA are requested to cite this article when referencing the database. PseudoMLSA currently contains 1,297 entries of Pseudomonas gene sequences, but is expected to grow continuously thanks to the rapid development of PD0332991 solubility dmso MLSA and genome projects.
