This is a Bioconductor Annotation package with the Ribosomal Database Project Release 11.5 for use with the metagenomeFeatures package (https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/metagenomeFeatures.html). The release version of the annotation package is available at Bioconductor (https://bioconductor.org).

To install the development version of the package:

1. install metagenomeFeatures, this can be done using devtools install_github("HCBravoLab/metagenomeFeatures")

2. clone this repository git clone https://github.com/HCBravoLab/ribosomaldatabaseproject11.5MgDb.git

3. download the database sequence data and generate the metadata and database file using the get_rdp11.5MgDb.R script in inst/scripts.

4. install ribosomaldatabaseproject11.5MgDb, this can be done using devtools install_local("local/path/ribosomaldatabaseproject11.5MgDb"), replace local/path with the path to the downloaded git repo.

The metagenomeFeatures package has vignettes on working with MgDb-class formated sequence databases.
