Assigning gene function from genome sequences is a rate-limiting step in molecular biology research. A protein's position within an interaction network can potentially provide insights into its molecular mechanisms. Phylogenetic analysis of evolutionary rate covariation …
Read PDFThe squid-vibrio symbiosis has illuminated fundamental mechanisms of beneficial animal-microbe associations, yet the interactions within sepiolid squid of the Mediterranean Sea remain underexplored. Here, we characterize the Sepiola affinis squid-vibrio symbiosis by combining whole-genome sequencing …
Read PDFThe inaugural Pennsylvania One Health Consortium Annual Meeting brought together partners from universities, state agencies, public health, veterinary, agriculture, industry, and community organizations to align around a shared One Health agenda. The program highlighted zoonotic …
Read PDFSpecies boundaries in scleractinian corals remain highly elusive due to conflicting patterns between morphological and molecular phylogenies, often caused by morphological plasticity, occurrence of cryptic species, incomplete lineage sorting or introgressive hybridization. Here, we use …
Read PDFThe living gymnosperms include about 1200 species in five major groups: cycads, ginkgo, gnetophytes, Pinaceae (conifers I), and cupressophytes (conifers II). Molecular phylogenetic studies have yet to reach a unanimously agreed-upon relationship among them. Moreover, …
Read PDFGymnosperms originated in the Middle Devonian and have experienced a long evolutionary history with pulses of speciation and extinction, which resulted in the four morphologically distinct extant groups, i.e., cycads, <i>Ginkgo</i>, conifers and gnetophytes. For …
Read PDFIn most legume-rhizobium symbioses, rhizobial colonization occurs through host-derived intracellular infection threads, which enable rhizobial recruitment while presumably modulating the host immune system to prevent rejection. To investigate post-translational regulation of immune responses during rhizobial …
Read PDFThe pathovar-based taxonomy of the <i>Xanthomonas translucens</i> group is very confusing due to an overlap of plant host ranges and level of host specificity. Here, whole-genome sequence-based parameters (digital DNA-DNA hybridization and blast-based average nucleotide …
Read PDFThe <i>Fusarium</i> genus includes some of the most economically and ecologically impactful fungal pathogens affecting global agriculture and human health. Over the past 15 years, rapid advances in molecular biology, genomics, and diagnostic technologies have …
Read PDFMaerl beds, formed by free-living coralline red algae, are biodiversity-rich and carbon-storing habitats of high conservation value but remain understudied at the genomic level. Here, we present the first draft genomes and population genomic analyses …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Angiosperms are the largest plant group and play an essential role in the biosphere. Phylogenetic relationships of many families and orders remain contentious, and, in an attempt to address these, we performed the most extensive …
Read PDFThis study reports the first complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Rhithrogena elasmaris</i> and provides a comprehensive analysis of its structural features and codon usage patterns. Combined with published mitochondrial genomes of 29 Heptageniidae species, we further …
Read PDFA large multi-country outbreak of Oropouche virus (OROV), a segmented negative-sense RNA virus, is emerging in Latin America. By analyzing publicly available whole-genome sequences spanning 1955 to 2024, this study reveals accelerated spatiotemporal evolution of …
Read PDFThe molluskan order Neogastropoda encompasses over 15,000 almost exclusively marine species playing important roles in benthic communities and in the economies of coastal countries. Neogastropoda underwent intensive cladogenesis in the early stages of diversification, generating …
Read PDF<h4>Premise</h4>Species of Deuterocohnia (17 spp.) show extraordinary variation in elevation (0-3900 m a.s.l.) and growth forms, and many have narrow geographic distributions in the west-central Andes and the Peru-Chile coast. Previous research using few plastid …
Read PDFDirty panicle and sheath blight are important diseases that have the capacity to reduce rice productivity and grain quality. The bacterial strain SNTKU16 was isolated from soil in a sugarcane field and identified as <i>Pseudomonas …
Read PDFCyanobacteria are a highly taxonomically and ecologically diverse group of oxygenic phototrophs that have colonized many different environments on our planet. Despite their differences, almost all cyanobacteria rely on highly efficient light-harvesting protein complexes, termed …
Read PDF<i>Gastrochilus</i> is an orchid genus containing about 70 species in tropical and subtropical Asia with high morphological diversity. The phylogenetic relationships among this genus have not been fully resolved, and the plastome evolution has not …
