The taxonomy has been automatically and manually curated on the 7 ranks. DAIRYdb is able to assign sequences to the species rank whereas classical Databases are less accurate. Note DAIRYdb is under active development and validation. Please independently confirm the DAIRYdb predictions by manually inspecting the tree and bringing any discrepancies to our attention. Moreover, please let us know if you want DAIRYdb to be adapted to a specific classifier not yet available here. Also, if you adapted DAIRYdb to any other classifier, do not hesitate to send us the files so that we can push them on github.
