A note on the incidence of reverse complementary fungal ITS sequences in the public sequence databases and a software tool for their detection and reorientation
Reverse complementary DNA sequences––sequences that are inadvertently cast backward and in which all purines and pyrimidines are transposed––are not uncommon in sequence databases, where they may introduce noi...
