Strengthening Fungal Genomics: Using Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) to Verify Yeast Species Identity (opens in new tab)

Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) analysis is a useful tool to verify taxonomic accuracy. It compares submitted genome assemblies against reference data generated from “type material,” the official specimen or culture designated when a new species is formally characterized. We previously applied this approach to prokaryotic genome validation, with comparisons running every day to provide up-to-date … Continue reading Strengthening Fungal Genomics: Using Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) to Ve...
