Author Contributions: CTB and JFB developed the iRep and bPTR methods. MRO ordered and oriented draft genome sequences for bPTR calculations and conducted kPTR analyses. CTB conducted the iRep, bPTR, and kPTR comparisons, and determined the accuracy of the iRep method. JFB binned the adult human metagenome and curated the Deltaproteobacterium genome, with input from CTB. CTB implemented the iRep method. BCT provided bioinformatics support. CTB and JFB drafted the manuscript. All authors contributed to iRep development, reviewed results, and approved the manuscript.
