Citation: “...In order to clarify non-conclusive results, it is recommended to query the sequence against the Eubacterial Database, which is an integral part of the SmartGene Bacteria Module. This Eubacterial Database contains >500,000 entries. Thus, when minor mismatches with a ‘Centroid’ match reflect a sequence variation observed commonly for a particular species, a better match to a sequence variant in the Eubacterial Database can improve the identification ...”
