The [database](/source/database) allows inputs of full [sequences](/source/Nucleic_acid_sequence), partial [sequences](/source/Nucleic_acid_sequence), or short [sequence](/source/Nucleic_acid_sequence) reads from other sequencing platforms.<ref name=":0" /> Additionally, users can set their own threshold for detection. By default it is at 100% ID. ResFinder pulls from other database such as the Marilyn Roberts database, the Lahey database (now defunct) and [ARDB](/source/ARDB). Other sources include published literature including reviews.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=RATHER|first=P|date=1998|title=Origins of the aminoglycoside modifying enzymes|journal=Drug Resistance Updates|volume=1|issue=5|pages=285–291|doi=10.1016/s1368-7646(98)80044-7|pmid=17092809|issn=1368-7646}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=van Hoek|first1=Angela H.
