Navigating bacterial taxonomy in a world of unchartered microbial organisms.
Keyword(s):
Abstract This book chapter focuses on state-of-the-art informatics techniques that perform bacterial taxonomic assertions on metabarcoding data sets and MAGs, as well as highlighting some of the advantages and disadvantages of the respective approaches and finishes by exploring why they are yet to be perfectly complementary. Currently, the results of these two approaches can be difficult to compare for the various reasons we highlight, and they are compounded by the fact that the data sets typically have different purposes. Despite the current difficulties, the field is heading in a direction that attempts to harmonize bacterial taxonomy generated by both approaches, ultimately making these comparisons less problematic in the future.
