Hemiptera, the fifth most diverse insect order, are characterized by their high diversity in deep time, with 145 known extinct families. However, the precise timing of the origin of Hemiptera lineages has remained uncertain. Traditional …
Read PDFThe inference of phylogenetic networks, which model complex evolutionary processes including hybridization and gene flow, remains a central challenge in evolutionary biology. Until now, statistically consistent inference methods have been limited to phylogenetic level-1 networks, …
Read PDF<h4>Motivation</h4>Over the past years, substantial numbers of microbial species' genomes have been deposited outside of conventional INSDC databases.<h4>Results</h4>The GlobDB aggregates 14 independent genomic catalogues to provide a comprehensive database of species-dereplicated microbial genomes, with consistent …
Read PDFWe describe a new plexippine genus and new species, <i>Phenasurya daeng</i> <b>gen. et sp. nov.</b>, with a striking red face, from Thailand. Its placement within Plexippina is supported by ultraconserved element (UCE)-based phylogenomic analyses, supplemented …
Read PDFHawaiian lobeliads exhibit extensive adaptive radiations and are considered the largest plant clade (143 species) endemic to any oceanic archipelago. Rapid insular radiations are prone to reticulate evolution, yet detecting hybridization is often limited by …
Read PDFAcoelomorpha is a broadly accepted clade of bilaterian animals made up of the fast-evolving, morphologically simple, mainly marine flatworm lineages Acoela and Nemertodermatida. Phylogenomic studies support Acoelomorpha's close relationship with the slowly evolving and similarly …
Read PDFThe <i>TRM</i> (<i>TONNEAU1 Recruiting Motif</i>) gene family plays a crucial role in multiple biological processes, including microtubule organization, cell division regulation, fruit morphogenesis, stress adaptation, and growth and development. To delve deeper into the potential …

Read PDFThe Gene Ontology is a central resource for representing biological knowledge, yet its internal structure is often treated as static-or as a black box-in computational analyses. Here, we examine 15 years of Gene Ontology evolution …
Read PDFFluorescence is a notable adaptation in marine environments, helping to counteract the loss of longer wavelengths as light diminishes with depth. Studied to some extent in cnidarians and reef fish, its presence and functions in …
Read PDFBlood feeding (hematophagy) is widespread across Diptera (true flies), yet the underlying genetic basis remains poorly understood. Using phylogenomics, we show that four gene families associated with neuromodulation, immune responses, embryonic development, and iron metabolism …
Read PDFReticulate evolution has long been recognized as a key mechanism that contributes to genetic and trait diversity. With the widespread availability of genomic data, investigating historical reticulate evolution across taxa has gained significant attention, driven …
Read PDF<i>Glycyrrhiza</i> (Fabaceae) species are rich in metabolites and widely used in medicine. Research on the chloroplast genome of <i>Glycyrrhiza</i> is important for understanding its phylogenetics, biogeography, genetic diversity, species identification, and medicinal properties. In this …
Read PDFMacroevolutionary forces, such as rare catastrophes, have repeatedly disrupted and reset the evolutionary trajectories of Earth's major organismal groups. The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K/Pg) extinction event, approximately 66 Ma, resulted in the demise of ∼75% of all …
Read PDFThe endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts necessitated the transfer of thousands of genes to the host nucleus, yet the evolutionary paths leading to their functional specialization in organelles remain largely unexplored. Here, we investigate …
Read PDFThis study presents a comprehensive genome-wide analysis of sulphur metabolism-related gene families in <i>Bacillus aryabhattai</i> strain NM1-A2 and <i>Bacillus cereus</i> strain NR1, isolated from marine mangrove habitats. We investigated phylogenetic relationships, conserved motifs, recombination events …
Read PDFTo better understand the phylogenomics of the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (<i>HN</i>) gene and HN protein in human parainfluenza virus type 4 (HPIV4), we performed phylogenomic analyses using various bioinformatics methods. The main bioinformatics analyses included a time-scaled …
Read PDFPlastome genomics and phylogenomics are essential tools for understanding plant diversity and evolution. Here we report the complete plastomes of Polylepis australis and P. microphylla, two species of the Andean tree genus Polylepis which forms …
