Advancement of DNA sequencing technology allows the routine use of genome sequences in the various fields of microbiology. The information held in genome sequences proved to provide objective and reliable means in the taxonomy of prokaryotes. Here, we describe the minimal standards for the quality of genome sequences and how they can be applied for taxonomic purposes.
DNA测序技术的进步使得基因组序列能够在微生物学的各个领域中得以常规应用。事实证明，基因组序列中所包含的信息为原核生物的分类学提供了客观可靠的方法。在此，我们描述了基因组序列质量的最低标准以及如何将其应用于分类学目的。
