Show abstract
The Pseudomonas syringae species complex is comprised of several closely related species of bacterial plant pathogens. Here, we use in-silico methods to assess 16 PCR primer sets designed for broad identification of isolates throughout the species complex. We evaluate their in-silico amplification rate in 2,161 publicly available genomes, the correlation between pairwise amplicon sequence distance and whole genome average nucleotide identity (ANI), and we train naive Bayes classification models to quantify classification resolution. Further, we show the potential for using single amplicon sequence data to predict an important determinant of host specificity and range, type III effector protein repertoires.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
