Clade-specific long-read sequencing increases the accuracy and specificity of the gyrB phylogenetic marker gene by Robert G. Nichols, Emily R. Davenport

“…While 16S rRNA gene sequencing (16S) is commonly used for bacteria and archaea, other marker genes are preferable in certain situations, such as when 16S sequences cannot distinguish between taxa within a group. Another situation is when researchers want to study cospeciation of host taxa that diverged much more recently than the slowly evolving 16S rRNA gene. …”
