An ANI gap within bacterial species that advances the definitions of intra-species units

ABSTRACTLarge-scale surveys of prokaryotic communities (metagenomes), as well as isolate genomes, have revealed that their diversity is predominantly organized in sequence-discrete units that may be equated to species. Specifically, genomes of the same species commonly show genome-aggregate average...
