These training fasta files are derived from the Silva 138.1 prokaryotic SSU taxonomic training data formatted for DADA2 (from https://zenodo.org/record/4587955). The species assignment file contains changes in species names according to Zheng et al. 2020 based on data from Lactotax (file 2023_05_30.xlsx). The script in R for making changes in species names is in the silva.R file. Please cite one or both of the Silva references, the DADA2 paper (reference below), and the Zenodo record for this specific version in your Methods or published source code to record the specific taxonomic database files used in your analysis.
