Wikipedia list article
This article lists the genera of the Archaea . The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)[1] National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)[2] The All-Species Living Tree Project .[3]
Phylogeny [ ] National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) taxonomy was initially used to decorate the genome tree via tax2tree. The 16S rRNA-based taxonomy is used to supplement the taxonomy particularly in regions of the tree with no cultured representatives. List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) is used as the primary taxonomic authority for establishing naming priorities. Taxonomic ranks are normalised using phylorank and the taxonomy manually curated to remove polyphyletic groups.[4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
Cladogram was taken from the GTDB release 06-RS202 (26 April 2021).[9] [10] [11]
