rRDP

rRDP interfaces R and the Bioconductor ecosystem with the RDP classifier to identify and classify microbial communities from ribosomal RNA sequences.

Key Features:

• Integration with RDP classifier: Interfaces with the RDP classifier to support taxonomic assignment of ribosomal RNA sequences.
• Interoperability with Bioconductor: Integrates within the Bioconductor ecosystem, interoperating with other R/Bioconductor packages (ecosystem of 934 packages).
• Community-driven development and testing: Subject to formal initial review and continuous automated testing to maintain software quality.

Scientific Applications:

• Microbial community analysis: Enables identification and classification of microbial communities based on ribosomal RNA sequences using the RDP classifier.
• Genomics and molecular biology research: Facilitates analysis of high-throughput genomic and molecular biology data within R/Bioconductor workflows.

Methodology:

Implements computational functionality in the statistical programming language R; interfaces programmatically with the RDP classifier; undergoes formal initial review and ongoing automated testing.
