A genus definition for <i>Bacteria</i> and <i>Archaea</i> based on genome relatedness and taxonomic affiliation

2018-08-16

Abstract excerpt

Genus assignment is fundamental in the characterization of microbes, yet there is currently no unambiguous way to demarcate genera solely using standard genomic relatedness indices. Here, we propose an approach to demarcate genera that relies on the combined use of the average nucleotide identity, genome alignment fraction, and the distinction between type species and non-type species. More than 750 genomes repres...
