We present two standards developed by the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) for
reporting bacterial and archaeal genome sequences. Both are extensions of the Minimum …

… Towards this direction, we performed a similar analysis to that reported before (Konstantinidis
& Tiedje 2005) within five important and contrasting bacterial groups that are presently …

Background Autonomous control of surgical robotic platforms may offer enhancements such
as higher precision, intelligent manoeuvres, tissue‐damage avoidance, etc. Autonomous …

DNA–DNA hybridization (DDH) values have been used by bacterial taxonomists since the
1960s to determine relatedness between strains and are still the most important criterion in …

… k-mer sample) than the default to obtain higher accuracy 25 . Accordingly, we ran Mash
with both the default sketch size of 1 K as well as increase it up to 100 K… size of 100 K, Mash …

To help advance the species definition for prokaryotes, we have compared the gene content
of 70 closely related and fully sequenced bacterial genomes to identify whether species …

… Nonpareil (Rodriguez-R & Konstantinidis, 2014b), a tool to estimate the level 168 of coverage

… The identity of each gene conserved (two-way BLAST) between Escherichia coli strain K-12
or Bacillus subtilis and the remaining 174 genomes was calculated. The identities of all …

Agricultural and industrial practices more than doubled the intrinsic rate of terrestrial N fixation
