Toward an efficient method of identifying core genes for evolutionary and functional microbial phylogenies.
Microbial community metagenomes and individual microbial genomes are becoming increasingly accessible by means of high-throughput sequencing. Assessing organismal membership within a community is typically performed using one or a few taxonomic marker genes such as the 16S rDNA, and these same genes...
