A modified Rsyst database with the inclusion of dinoflagellate and cyanobacteria taxa

<p>The Rsyst database described by Rimet et al. (2016) was modified to include dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria. Dinoflagellates were successfully annotated but cyanobacteria were not.</p> <p>The original database can be found at the following reference:</p> <p>Rimet, F., Chaumeil, P., Keck, F., Kermarrec, L., Vasselon, V., Kahlert, M., Franc, A., Bouchez, A., 2016.

Database 2016, 1&ndash;21.&nbsp;</p> <p>The modified database was used in the following paper:</p> <p>Gibb et al. 2024.
