Abstract
⺠A novel approach for constructing phylogenetic trees, based on comparative analysis of genomic fingerprints, was developed. ⺠In silico genomic fingerprints were produced by virtual hybridization of 191 fully sequenced bacterial genomes using a set of 15,264 13-mer probes. ⺠The taxonomy produced by these genomic fingerprints was found to be satisfactory and may reveal more information than previously used approaches.
