Acknowledgement: We are indebted to Safak Yilmaz and Daniel Noguera for calculation of the ΔG values. We greatly thank Todd DeSantis for his efforts to facilitate the access to Green Genes and acknowledge help of Christian Baranyi for statistical analysis and of Carmen Krammer, Manuela Hartmann, and Silvia Weber for database maintenance. We further thank Phil Hugenholtz for valuable comments and all users who contributed to probeBase by submitting probes.
 
ΔG values were calculated according to Yilmaz and Noguera (2006). Making all Parts of the 16S rRNA of Escherichia coli accessible in situ to single DNA oligonucleotides. Appl Environ Microbiol 72: 733-744.  Abstract.
 
Difference alignments were generated using ARB probematch and the ARB database (release June 2001).
 
probeBase offers direct submission of sequences to the probe match tool of the Ribosomal Database Project II at the Center for Microbial Ecology (Michigan State University).
 
probeBase offers direct submission sequences to the simrank tool of Green Genes at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

 
probeBase contains reference links to PubMed at the National Library of Medicine (NCBI).
