Question

Can we use recent molecular tools to identify and classify organisms?

Answer 1

Bacterial taxonomy based on phenotypic properties has encountered several problem ; many organisms grow to poorly.

Answer 2

Answer:  

The recent tools such as 16S rRNA sequencing and the bioinformatics tools can help to classify organisms.  

Explanation:  

The recent day technology based sequencers and the modern bioinformatics tools have made classification of organisms simpler. There are numerous software’s that gives us the complete phylogenetic classification of the unknown.  

Initially an entire genome was sequenced but not only can a part of the genome such as the 16S rRNA be sequenced to give the genetic information of an organism.
