Abstract excerpt
Anaerobic methanotrophic (ANME) archaea have been primarily documented by metagenomic analysis of environmental samples. The mechanisms that drive their diversification and speciation are poorly understood. Here we analyse the phylogenomic diversity at the species and strain levels of clade ANME-1 from deep-sea cold seeps, as a model system with a well-studied phylogenetic framework. We reconstruct high-quality...
