Phylogenies of the 16S rRNA gene and its hypervariable regions lack concordance with core genome phylogenies
BACKGROUND: The 16S rRNA gene is used extensively in bacterial phylogenetics, in species delineation, and now widely in microbiome studies. However, the gene suffers from intragenomic heterogeneity, and reports of recombination and an unreliable phylogenetic signal are accumulating. Here, we compare...
