Much of the undescribed biodiversity on Earth is microbial, often in mutualistic or pathogenic associations. Physically associated and coevolving life forms comprise a symbiome . We propose that systematics research can accelerate progress in science by introducing a new framework for phylogenetic analysis of symbiomes , here termed SYMPHY (symbiome phylogenetics ).
Keywords: holobiont , microbe, paradigm, phylogeny, symbiome , tree
