Identification service for rDNA sequences
YOU NEED MORE THAN A BLAST RESULT?
The Ribocon identification service is the perfect way to balance accuracy, speed, and costs in routine analysis.
Our technology (the combination of software and underlying rDNA databases) allows us to identify and classify rDNA sequences in a highly accurate and efficient way.
Send us your rDNA sequence data, relax, and get back a fully-documented, exact classification of your sequences.
- we use a phylogeny-based approach plus
high-quality comprehensive reference databases - we can routinely analyse large sets of sequences for you or individual problematic sequences on request
- we offer maximum transparency and detailed reports accounting for your personal requirements

Web-based and individual solutions
YOU ARE TIRED OF HAVING A DOZEN OF "UNCULTURED BACTERIA" ON TOP OF YOUR GENBANK BLAST RESULTS?
Besides our identification service, we offer additional innovative solutions for rDNA-based microbial diagnostics.
For an example see the 
SepsiTest-BLAST web portal, a joined project with the molecular diagnostics company Molzym.
It represents a freely available and fully documented online system for the fast and accurate identification of 16S/18S rDNA sequences, originally made for pathogenic microorganisms but usable for all cultured Bacteria, Archaea and selected Eukarya.
Just upload or copy & paste a sequence and press the analysis button ...
- high quality 16S/18S rDNA reference database of all published bacterial type strains ( more information)
- quality check of incoming FASTA and ABI files
- automatic data interpretation and evaluation
- fast and clear results, no meaningless database hits - try it!
The SepsiTest-BLAST system is an example how powerful optimized tools perform compared to a standard BLAST analysis using the Genbank database.

We offer web- and software development and, of course, customized reference databases, fully adapted to your individual requirements including analysis criteria and output formats.
In-depth rDNA-based phylogeny
YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO ONE STEP FURTHER?
The experts at Ribocon are highly experienced with the phylogenetic analysis of rDNA and other genetic marker genes, see our Standard Operating Procedure for Phylogenetic Inference published in Systematic & Applied Microbiology.
We offer our experience and computer infrastructure to close your gaps ...
- evaluation of tree topologies if you need expert support
- in-depth phylogenetic assignment of selected sequences
- "publication-ready" phylogenetic trees from scratch
- large-scale calculations for up to 10,000 sequences on our computer cluster
