ALIGNMENT
Subdatabase containing homologous sequences (different 'alignments' can be stored along with the species information). See ´What is an Alignment ?´ for more information.
ACI
ARB Command Interpreter. ACI is a simple programing language for calculating special species information (eg. G+C Content..) See ´ARB Command Interpreter (ACI)´.
EDGE
Branch within a tree defined by nodes
FIELD
Container for 'species' associated information
NAMES
There are two kinds of name fields (for species, genes, etc.).
-
name
Identifier for 'species' entries. Should be generated automatically using the name server.
-
full_name
User defined full name of the species,...
NDS
Node Display Setup: defines information which is displayed at tree nodes.
NODE
Internal: connects branches of a tree Terminal: free end of branches representing 'species'
PT_SERVER
Server using a special form of the ARB database for rapid similarity searching (automated alignment, probe design/check)
SAI
Sequence Associated Information
SELECTED SPECIES
The 'selected species' is that ONE species which has been selected by using any of the following actions
-
ARB_NTREE/Search + click onto one search result
-
ARB_MERGE/Transfer species + click onto one search result (here there is one selected species in each of the two involved DBs)
-
clicking on the species name in the tree display in ARB_NT
-
placing the cursor into the sequence of a species in ARB_EDIT4
The currently selected species will be displayed in the 'Species info window'
SPECIES
Database entry containing a sequence and associated information. Not necessarily consistent with a taxonomic species
