Discordant 16S and 23S rRNA Gene Phylogenies for the Genus <i>Helicobacter</i> : Implications for Phylogenetic Inference and Systematics
18 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences has become the primary method for determining prokaryotic phylogeny. Phylogeny is currently the basis for prokaryotic systematics. Therefore, the validity of 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic analyses is of fundamental importance for prokaryotic systematics. Discrepancies between 16S rRNA gene analyses and DNA-DNA hybridization and phenotypic analyses have been noted in the...
