This study evaluates four microbial phylogenomic methods on simulated and real data, finding that accounting for gene tree error improves species tree accuracy, though all methods face biases in complex datasets.

This study uses pan-genomics to identify 50 genomic islands in Halorubrum ezzemoulense, revealing rare accessory genes and homeocassettes that contribute to adaptability and speciation.

The paper introduces a new ANI metric combining genomic content and identity to improve phylogenetic inference and taxonomic classification using whole-genome data.
