ComPhy: prokaryotic composite distance phylogenies inferred from whole-genome gene sets

摘要：

BackgroundWith the increasing availability of whole genome sequences, it is becoming more and more important to use complete genome sequences for inferring species, phylogenies.We developed a new tool ComPhy, ‘Composite Distance Phylogeny’, based on a composite distance matrix calculated from the comparison of complete gene sets between genome pairs to produce a prokaryotic phylogeny.Data & Methods398 single-chromosome protein sequences of prokaryotic genomes and their physical gene locations were downloaded from NCBI ftp site and used to build the method. 9 datasets were composed from 398 proteins.
