Proposed minimal standards for the use of genome data for the taxonomy of prokaryotes

Jongsik Chun et al. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2018 Jan.

Abstract

Advancement of DNA sequencing technology allows the routine use of genome sequences in the various fields of microbiology. The information held in genome sequences proved to provide objective and reliable means in the taxonomy of prokaryotes. Here, we describe the minimal standards for the quality of genome sequences and how they can be applied for taxonomic purposes.

Keywords: average nucleotide identity; genome sequence; minimal standards; phylogenomics; prokaryotic taxonomy.
