The family Enterobacteriaceae has undergone significant morphogenetic changes in its
more than 85-year history, particularly during the past 2 decades (2000 to 2020). The …

Studying within-species variation has traditionally been limited to culturable bacterial
isolates and low-resolution microbial community fingerprinting. Metagenomic sequencing …

The field of microbiome research has evolved rapidly over the past few decades and has
become a topic of great scientific and public interest. As a result of this rapid growth in …

Microbial taxonomy is increasingly influenced by genome-based computational methods.
Yet such analyses can be complex and require expert knowledge. Here we introduce TYGS …

The average amino acid identity (AAI) is an index of pairwise genomic relatedness, and
multiple studies have proposed its application in prokaryotic taxonomy and related …

The class Alphaproteobacteria is comprised of a diverse assemblage of Gram-negative
bacteria that includes organisms of varying morphologies, physiologies and habitat …

Abstract The Genomes OnLine Database (GOLD)(https://gold. jgi. doe. gov/) at the
Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE-JGI) continues to maintain its role as one …

The application of phylogenetic taxonomic procedures led to improvements in the
classification of bacteria assigned to the phylum Actinobacteria but even so there remains a …

The recent advent of DNA sequencing technologies facilitates the use of genome
sequencing data that provide means for more informative and precise classification and …

Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences of members of the family
Staphylococcaceae showed the presence of para-and polyphyletic genera. This finding …
