GTDB-Tk/2.4.0 - Spirochaetota clustering far from other bacteria from the same phylum

Open ValterAlmeida opened this issue 6 months ago • 6 comments

Hi everyone,

I was using GTDB-Tk/2.3.2, and after updating to GTDB-Tk/2.4.0, some Spirochaetota bacterial species started clustering far from each other in the phylogenetic tree (shown in dark green in the attached figure). I used the same MAGs, version, and script of IQ-Tree2 (IQ-TREE/2.2.2.2) that I used with GTDB-Tk/2.3.2, when all Spirochaetota clustered together. Could someone help me understand what is happening? I would greatly appreciate any thoughts. Thank you in advance!

Valter
