Begomovirus species demarcation based on genome-sequence identity often yields non-monophyletic species: A case study of sweet potato-infecting begomoviruses

The paper analyzes sweet potato-infecting begomoviruses and finds that genome-sequence identity thresholds fail to produce monophyletic species due to recombination and paraphyly.

Identifying indels from WGS short reads of haploid genomes distinguishes variant-calling algorithms

The paper evaluates variant-calling algorithms for identifying indels in haploid bacterial genomes using synthetic reads and finds that high-quality soft-clipped reads improve detection of medium-length indels.
