A natural ANI gap that can define intra-species units of bacteriophages and other viruses

2024-04-18

Abstract excerpt

Despite the importance of intra-species variants of viruses for causing disease and/or disrupting ecosystem functioning, there is no universally applicable standard to define these. A 95% whole-genome average nucleotide identity (ANI) gap is commonly used to define species, especially for bacteriophages, but whether a similar gap exists within species that can be used to define intra-species units has not been eva...
