Then and now: use of 16S rDNA gene sequencing for bacterial identification and discovery of novel bacteria in clinical microbiology laboratories
TL;DR: Among the 100 novel species, Streptococcus sinensis, Laribacter hongkongensis, Clostridium hathewayi and Borrelia spielmanii have been most thoroughly characterized, with the reservoirs and routes of transmission documented, and S. Sinensis, L. hongKongensis and C. hathe wayi have been found globally.

Coronavirus Diversity, Phylogeny and Interspecies Jumping:
TL;DR: The present evidence supports that bat coronaviruses are the gene pools of group 1 and 2 coronaviraluses, whereas bird coronavirus are the genes of group 3 coronavIRuses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic and recombination analysis of coronavirus HKU1, a novel coronavirus from patients with pneumonia
TL;DR: Phylogenetic trees constructed using predicted amino acid sequences of putative proteins of coronavirus HKU1 revealed that CoV-HKU1 formed a distinct branch among group 2 coronaviruses.
