What the DK Microbe Tool Can Do

Given a set of 17 base-pair digital karyotyping tags, the DK Microbe tool searches for exact matches to virtual tags in the genomes of 2565 bacterial and viral genomes.

You may query for matches to a small number of tags by entering the tags directly in a text box (multiple tags are separated by commas). Alternatively, longer lists of tags to be matched may be uploaded in a file. Note that microbial tags that are exact matches to human digital karyotyping tags have been removed from the set of virtual microbial tags.

For a description of the bacterial and viral digital karyotyping virtual tag sets, see the following:
