Next-generation systematics: An innovative approach to resolve the structure of complex prokaryotic taxa
7 Dec 2016
Abstract excerpt
Prokaryotic systematics provides the fundamental framework for microbiological research but remains a discipline that relies on a labour- and time-intensive polyphasic taxonomic approach, including DNA-DNA hybridization, variation in 16S rRNA gene sequence and phenotypic characteristics. These techniques suffer from poor resolution in distinguishing between closely related species and often result in...
