ALIGNMENT Subdatabase containing homologous sequences (different 'alignments' can be stored along with the species information). See LINK{alignment.hlp} for more information. ACI ARB Command Interpreter. ACI is a simple programing language for calculating special species information (eg. G+C Content..) See LINK{aci.hlp}. EDGE Branch within a tree defined by nodes FIELD Container for 'species' associated information MARKED SPECIES Marking of 'species' defines the datasubset which is analyzed by the ARB tools. See LINK{mark.hlp}. NAMES There are two kinds of name fields (for species, genes, etc.). - name Identifier for 'species' entries. Should be generated automatically using the name server. - full_name User defined full name of the species,... NDS Node Display Setup: defines information which is displayed at tree nodes. NODE Internal: connects branches of a tree Terminal: free end of branches representing 'species' PT_SERVER Server using a special form of the ARB database for rapid similarity searching (automated alignment, probe design/check) SAI Sequence Associated Information SELECTED SPECIES The 'selected species' is that ONE species which has been selected by using any of the following actions - ARB_NTREE/Search + click onto one search result - ARB_MERGE/Transfer species + click onto one search result (here there is one selected species in each of the two involved DBs) - clicking on the species name in the tree display in ARB_NT - placing the cursor into the sequence of a species in ARB_EDIT4 The currently selected species will be displayed in the 'Species info window' SPECIES Database entry containing a sequence and associated information. Not necessarily consistent with a taxonomic species SRT Search and Replace Tool allows to search substrings in a string and replace them by another substring (see LINK{srt.hlp}). ZOMBIES Zombies are references to former species in a tree, i.e. to species that were in the database when the tree has been calculated, but have meanwhile been deleted (see LINK{trm_del.hlp})
