| 1 | Prokaryote phylogeny meets taxonomy: An exhaustive comparison of composition vector trees with systematic bacteriology显示文摘We perform an exhaustive, taxon by taxon, comparison of the branchings in the composition vector trees (CVTrees) inferred from 432 prokaryotic genomes available on 31 December 2006, with the bacte-riologists' taxonomy-primarily the latest online Outline of the Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteri-ology. The CVTree phylogeny agrees very well with the Bergey's taxonomy in majority of fine branchings and overall structures. At the same time most of the differences between the trees and the Manual have been known to biologists to some extent and may hint at taxonomic revisions. Instead of demonstrating the overwhelming agreement this paper puts emphasis on the biological implications of the differences. | GAO Lei1,2, QI Ji1**, SUN JianDong2,3 & HAO BaiLin1,2,4 1 Institute of Theoretical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100080, China 2 T-Life Research Center, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China 3 Beijing Genomics Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 101300, China 4 Santa Fe Institute, Santa Fe, NM87501, USA Center for Comparative Genomics and Bioinformatics, Penn State University, 310 Wartik Building, University Park, PA16802, USA | 2007 | Science China(Life Sciences)2007，50，5： | 4 |
