Using the RDP classifier to predict taxonomic novelty and reduce the search space for finding novel organisms.
BACKGROUND: Currently, the naïve Bayesian classifier provided by the Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) is one of the most widely used tools to classify 16S rRNA sequences, mainly collected from environmental samples. We show that RDP has 97+% assignment accuracy and is fast for 250 bp and longer read...
