tRNA signatures reveal a polyphyletic origin of SAR11 strains among alphaproteobacteria.

Molecular phylogenetics and phylogenomics are subject to noise from horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and bias from convergence in macromolecular compositions. Extensive variation in size, structure and base composition of alphaproteobacterial genomes has complicated their phylogenomics, sparking contr...
