Using Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) to Expose Potentially Problematic Taxonomic Merges

Help us improve our microbial taxonomy NCBI uses Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) to evaluate the taxonomic classification of prokaryotic genomes submitted to GenBank. As part of this effort, we identified heterotypic synonyms that fail to match each other with high ANI, and we invite you to help us evaluate these cases. What is Heterotypic Synonymy? … Continue reading Using Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) to Expose Potentially Problematic Taxonomic Merges →
