Abstract Universal single-copy genes (USCGs) are widely used for species classification and taxonomic profiling. Despite many studies on USCGs, our understanding of USCGs in bacterial genomes might be out of date, especially how different the USCGs are in different studies, how well a set of USCGs c...
