Rust HUBB

Rust HUBB contains 28S DNA sequences from thousands of rust species. Sequences have been verified, and come only from vouchered herbarium specimens that have been authenticated.

​

To use this tool, select the blast button at the right.  Paste your 28S sequence into the box and blast.

​

Results will show closest matches in our database, including name, collection number, voucher number, host (family or subfamily, genus and species) and geographic origin.

​

Results should be verified by microscopic examination.
