Modifications by phyloBARCODER: FASTA identifiers reformatted; sequences normalized to uppercase; BLAST indexes generated. Tree analysis selects aligned reference fragments, aligns and trims them. Extraction returns source-length sequences. Reference-derived demonstration fragments are not environmental reads. Genus is taken from the source organism label. Higher taxonomy was obtained separately from the Bell RDP reference file as described below. No endorsement by the data authors is implied.

Records with non-IUPAC DNA characters or fewer than 100 bases were excluded; see rbcl_provenance.json for the record list.

Taxonomic metadata: Bell, Karen (2016), rbcL_rdp_trained_reference_database.zip, https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.3827631.v1 (CC BY 4.0). GI and sequence verified before joining. NCBI Taxonomy used to resolve broad plant clades; name matching used as fallback. See taxonomy provenance and per-reference mapping.

Fern extension (2026-10-05): FTOL v1.9.0, https://github.com/fernphy/ftol_data (commit 07631403b88b093303c124fa8cd9d158c40a2c5b), doi:10.3389/fpls.2022.909768; CC0. Kuo et al. (2024), doi:10.1038/s41597-024-04161-8; data doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.27649653; CC0. Extracted rbcL partition from published alignments, removed alignment gaps and terminal N, mapped accession/voucher/taxonomy, merged duplicate accessions with matching/contained sequence. Plastome accessions contribute only the rbcL partition. Fern sequences are reference records, not environmental reads. See database provenance and fern_records.json.gz for all original labels, source files and modifications.
