MIMt is a new suite for metagenomics sample identification through the main markers used for each taxonomic group. Thus, MIMt is composed of databases to perform targeted identification for Prokaryotes through 16S rRNA, Eukaryotes through 18S rRNA and Fungi identification through ITS.

All MIMt databases have two variants, one with all available sequences either manually curated or not, and another version only with the sequences that have been manually curated by RefSeq.

The full version contains sequences from Target Loci, sequences extracted from complete sequenced genomes from RefSeq and sequences extracted from sequenced genomes from Genbank.

All our databases are made up of complete sequences of the various markers, since they have not been obtained by targeted sequencing using primers but extracted directly from the whole genome of the species and they are updated regularly including markers for the new species identified.

In addition, every sequence contained in our databases has associated to it the complete taxonomy  classification from kingdom to the species level.
