After controlling for multiple comparisons, mountain aspect remained a significant source of variation in endophyte community composition even at the taxonomic rank of class, while the presence/absence of blister rust cankers did not remain significant.
Therefore eukaryotic phylogenomic analysis at the rank of class or higher may be reliable when based on a large data set, even when taxon sampling is limited.
AUC ROC characterizes the ability of a (classifier-generated) measure to produce a good ranking of class membership for each object [35].
SPANNER assigned more proteins than LCA at the rank of class and below.
For example, a given sequence may be classified to the rank of genus, but accurately only to the rank of class, in which case the classification is partially correct and partially incorrect.
We do not propose names for hierarchical levels above the rank of class, and consider that gene name, gene family and gene class (and occasionally subclass) convey sufficient information for most purposes.
The results based on PAUDA and BLASTX are highly correlated, with a Pearson's correlation coefficient r that ranges from 0.993 for the taxonomic rank of class to 0.953 for species.
Taxonomic categories above the rank of class are not covered by the Rules of the Bacteriological Code, but the Firmicutes phylum is generally accepted, with most of its members belonging to the two large and diverse classes of Bacilli and Clostridia.
Moreover, this deep division into two major groups prompted us to reclassify several major archaeal lineages from their current status of phyla or divisions into the rank of classes to make the whole archaeal taxonomy much more homogeneous.
In focussing, verbalizing, and mobilizing the political alienation of a certain segment of the American population — one largely, but not exclusively, drawn from the ranks of working-class and middle-class white men — he has no equal.
