Predicting microbial traits with phylogenies.

The ISME journal - 1 Apr 2016

Goberna Marta, Verdú Miguel

Abstract excerpt

Phylogeny reflects genetic and phenotypic traits in Bacteria and Archaea. The phylogenetic conservatism of microbial traits has prompted the application of phylogeny-based algorithms to predict unknown trait values of extant taxa based on the traits of their evolutionary relatives to estimate, for instance, rRNA gene copy numbers, gene contents or tolerance to abiotic conditions. Unlike the 'macrobial' world,...
