High throughput ANI analysis of 90K prokaryotic genomes reveals clear species boundaries

Nature Communications, 2017
A fundamental question in microbiology is whether there is continuum of genetic diversity among genomes, or clear species boundaries prevail instead. Whole-genome similarity metrics such as Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) help address this question by ...
