Polyphyly in 16S rRNA-based LVTree Versus Monophyly in Whole-genome-based CVTree
We report an important but long-overlooked manifestation of low-resolution power of 16S rRNA sequence analysis at the species level, namely, in 16S rRNA-based phylogenetic trees polyphyletic placements of closely-related species are abundant compared to those in genome-based phylogeny. This phenomen...
