A completeness-independent method for pre-selection of closely related genomes for species delineation in prokaryotes

Abstract Background Whole-genome approaches are widely preferred for species delineation in prokaryotes. However, these methods require pairwise alignments and calculations at the whole-genome level and thus are computationally intensive. To address this problem, a strategy consisting of sieving (pr...
