Screening a paper on genome based #phage taxonomy - recommending >30% id and >50% coverage category for clustering genes. While the number makes sense... How did they arrive at the specific threshold? Anyone have any idea? https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/13/3/506
A Roadmap for Genome-Based Phage Taxonomy
Bacteriophage (phage) taxonomy has been in flux since its inception over four decades ago. Genome sequencing has put pressure on the classification system and recent years have seen significant changes to phage taxonomy.MDPI
