The distinction of CPR bacteria from other bacteria based on protein family content

Recent studies have identified a large, phylogenetically distinct clade of bacteria, the candidate phyla radiation (CPR). Here, Méheust and colleagues analyze almost 3600 genomes to characterize the protein family content of CPR versus other bacteria and archaea.
