Database fields

We are providing as part of the pr2database package two data frames as functions:

  • pr2_database(): the main PR2 reference database containing both 18S rRNA and plastid 16S rRNA sequences
  • pr2_taxonomy(): the main PR2 reference database containing both 18S rRNA and plastid 16S rRNA sequences

pr2_database()

The PR2 reference database is provided as a data frame called through the functionpr2database::pr2_database(). This is a join between the following tables:

  • pr2_main
  • pr2_taxonomy
  • pr2_sequence
  • pr2_metadata
  • pr2_countries
  • pr2_traits
  • pr2_assign_silva
  • eukribo_v2

The metadata contains several types of fields:

  • gb_ : originating from the GenBank entry
  • eukref_ : annotated by the Eukref project
  • pr2_ : annotated by pr2 such latitude and longitude
  • eukribo_ : from the EukRibo database
  • silva_ : from the Silva database
