How to build 16S rRNA matrix?

Hi all,

I have one question, "how to build 16S rRNA similarity matrix?".

I am trying to reclassify a family of bacteria, but inorder to do that I need to blastn multiple 16S rRNA sequences againts each other to build matrix, about 400 sequences. I use blastn, but the result did not give me any matrix. Is there any other method to do this? or I am missing something here.

Thank you for taking time to reply,

Best Regards

Buce,

It's not really cleat what you are trying to achieve. What is your starting point? Generally there exists a multiple sequence alignment of all bacterial 16S in databases like Silva or GreenGenes
