A modified Rsyst database with the inclusion of dinoflagellate and cyanobacteria taxa

The Rsyst database described by Rimet et al. (2016) was modified to include dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria. Dinoflagellates were successfully annotated but cyanobacteria were not. The original database can be found at the following reference: Rimet, F., Chaumeil, P., Keck, F., Kermarrec, L., Vasselon, V., Kahlert, M., Franc, A., Bouchez, A., 2016. R-Syst::diatom: An open-access and curated barcode database for diatoms and freshwater monitoring. Database 2016, 1–21. The modified database was used in the following paper: Gibb et al. 2024. DNA metabarcoding reveals distinct bacterial and phytoplankton assemblages in the Agulhas Current and the adjacent coastal shelf.
