Bioinformatic Genome Comparisons for Taxonomic and Phylogenetic Assignments Using <italic toggle="yes">Aeromonas</italic> as a Test Case

ABSTRACT Prokaryotic taxonomy is the underpinning of microbiology, as it provides a framework for the proper identification and naming of organisms. The “gold standard” of bacterial species delineation is the overall genome similarity determined by DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH), a technically rigorous...
