Highly divergent ancient gene families in metagenomic samples are compatible with additional divisions of life.

Biology direct - 26 Oct 2015

Lopez Philippe, Halary Sébastien, Bapteste Eric

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Microbial genetic diversity is often investigated via the comparison of relatively similar 16S molecules through multiple alignments between reference sequences and novel environmental samples using phylogenetic trees, direct BLAST matches, or phylotypes counts. However, are we missing novel lineages in the microbial dark universe by relying on standard phylogenetic and BLAST methods? If so, how can...
