Systematics describes the ordering of information on organisms and plays an important role in communicating information within biological sciences. Systematics seeks to reveal the phenotypic and genotypic diversity of organisms while relating this information to natural interactions and evolutionary history. Systematics may utilise a wide range of data and is not limited to the experimental methods that it may draw on in order to make sensible comparisons between organisms. Systematics links phylogeny with taxonomy. Taxonomy involves characterisation, naming and classification of organisms according to defined criteria. Systematics requires an underlying order, and both systematics and taxonomy are strongly dependent on theory and philosophy, which are used to create this order. Systematics is a complex area, which has seen much change and progress in the past century as well as in the past few decades as a result of the molecular advances. Developments in molecular biology have been adapted in line with the theory and philosophy and have become established in systematics. In the molecular era, phylogenetic and taxogenomic methods are the driving forces behind the revalidation of currently used theories and hypotheses formulated for systematics. Systematics is the study of the diversity of organisms and their relationship. Classification involves ordering of microorganisms into groups/taxa based on their interrelationships. Taxonomy is the theory and practice of identifying, describing, naming and classifying organisms. Nomenclature is the science of defining and naming taxonomic categories such as the species, genera, families, orders, classes, phyla and domains. Nomenclature of prokaryotes is governed by the rules of the Prokaryotic Code (International code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes, as determined by the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes https://www.the‐icsp.org/ . Species are the fundamental units of biological diversity, and all members of a species should carry distinct traits. Current systematists make extensive use of molecular biology and bioinformatics to study microorganisms. The basis of molecular phylogeny refers to evolutive relationship of microorganisms that can be inferred from the relationships of their genes and their genomes. Genomics explores the biology of organisms through their genetic blueprints. Metagenomics provides access to genome for prediction of ecological roles of the members of microbial communities, revealing the metabolic and functional diversity of microorganisms in natural environments.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
