Abstract excerpt
Large-scale, genome-level molecular phylogenetic analyses present both opportunities and challenges for bacterial evolutionary and ecological studies. We constructed a phylum-level bacterial phylogenetic marker database by surveying all complete bacterial genomes and identifying single-copy genes that were widely distributed in each of the 20 bacterial phyla. We showed that phylum trees made using these markers...
