Digital DNA-DNA hybridization for microbial species delineation by means of genome-to-genome sequence comparison

The pragmatic species concept for Bacteria and Archaea is ultimately based on DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH). While enabling the taxonomist, in principle, to obtain an estimate of ...

Standard operating procedure for calculating genome-to-genome distances based on high-scoring segment pairs

DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) is a widely applied wet-lab technique to obtain an estimate of the overall similarity between the genomes of two organisms. To base the species conce...
