How to map RDP Nomenclature to NCBI Nomenclature?

[homopolymer]

Hi

I am using the standalone RDP classifier to annotate our assemblies. But I find that the RDP nomenclature is different from NCBI nomenclature, such as the NCBI genus Anabaena of phylum Cyanobacteria is named as GpI according to RDP classification. The inconsistence between two nomenclatural systems makes me confuse and cannot determine the identity apparently. Is there any tool can give the mapping between these two nomenclatures?

Thank you very much.

Hi, Feng,

Sorry for the delayed reply!
Our taxonomic scheme for Cyanobacteria was derived from the phylogenetic
clusters from Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology (2nd ed. Vol.
1: p487-493;
2001). This is due to the lack of formal nomenclatures to many taxa under
this phylum, including the genus Anabaena.

RDP has used this system for long and we are currently reviewing it for
updating according to currently taxonomic opinions and available sequence
data.

Let me know if you have questions.

Sincerely,

Benli Chai
