Created from the SILVA 138 SSU Ref Nr99 (Preusse et al., 2007), the most recent curated dataset, with modifications described below.

We checked for the presence of species with more than one unique taxonomic lineage using the check_for_SILVA_inconsistencies4.plx script in the CheckSilva138Taxonomy directory. We found that 2,495 / 98,776 (2.5%) *unique* species were annotated with more than one taxonomic lineage due to the way SILVA curates taxonomic lineages using an automated phylogeny-based method (combined with manual curation for certain groups). This affects 335,983 / 510,984 (66%) of all the sequneces in the SILVA fasta file.

This version of the 18S classifier has been trained to make assignments to the **genus** rank only. This was done for 3 reasons:
