Docker containers are now available for the three PR2 applications: - pr2-database: reférence database - pr2-primers: primer database and analysis - metapr2: metabarcode database and visualization. This by far the easiest way to use these databases on your computer. hub.docker.com/repositories...

For those of you who are using metaPR2 extensively, a good alternative to installing the R package which can cause trouble because of dependencies, you can try the newly available docker container: hub.docker.com/repository/d...

PR2 primers version 2.1.0 has been released. This does not include any new primer, but now the database uses the latest version of PR2 (5.1.1) to perform in silico analyses. Access here: app.pr2-primers.org

Version 5.1.1 of the PR2 database has been released. The major novelty is the inclusion of the recently published eKOI database (coi gene- doi.org/10.1093/data...) in the web interface. The 18S rRNA database is not changed so you can use 5.1.0 or 5.1.1 for metabarcode annotations
