palmID: Viral-RdRP Analysis

palmID [1] is an analysis suite for the classification and analysis of viral RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase (RdRP) input sequences, based on the palmprint barcoding sub-sequence [2].

Input sequence are cross-referenced to 145,000 species-level RdRP-palmprints in palmDB (clustered at 90% aa-identity) [3]. Each palmDB match is then cross-referenced to 5.7 million public sequencing libraries in the Sequence Read Archive to retrieve sample meta-data.
