A molecule that is used as a pattern for the synthesis of complementary copies. In DNA replication, both strands are used as a template for the synthesis of new DNA. In the transcription of DNA into RNA, only one of them is used as a template for the synthesis of complementary RNA.

• Align against Greengenes (16S): Use this tool for aligning your set of 16S rRNA gene sequences using NAST or for finding near-neighbors or both. Each query sequence in your uploaded file will be searched for 16S rRNA gene sequences and aligned according to a Core Set of alignment templates. You can even upload a whole fasta genome and NAST will find, extract, and align the 16S rRNA genes for you. Additionally, Simrank (an N-mer comparison tool) will be used to find nearest-neighbors (non-chimeric) as well as nearest-isolates for each of your sequences from the entire Greengenes database...
• PrimerBlast: a primer design tool from NCBI: Finding primers specific to your PCR template (using Primer3 and BLAST).
