Over the past decade, phylogenomics has significantly enhanced our understanding of relationships among numerous angiosperm lineages. However, comprehensive phylogenetic studies combining broad sampling of both genomic sequences and taxa within the nettle family (Urticaceae) are …
Read PDF<i>Trichaptum biforme</i>, a globally recognized white-rot Basidiomycete, is a member of the Hymenochaetales order. This research focused on a specimen of <i>T. biforme</i> MES02, which was obtained from the Qinling Mountain range in China, specifically …
Read PDFAlthough several methods exist for extracting and sequencing historical DNA originating from dry-preserved insect specimens deposited in natural history museums, no consensus exists as to what is the optimal approach. We demonstrate that a customized, …
Read PDF<b>Background</b>: The phylogenetic resolution within the <i>Gloydius halys-intermedius</i> Complex remains debatable due to the following reasons: loci selection in previous studies varied between authors; limited dataset (1-5 mitochondrial or nuclear gene fragments); lack of sampling …
Read PDF<i>Enicospilus ramidulus</i> (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) is a common parasitoid of Noctuidae larvae, with potential role in natural pest control. Here, we sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome of <i>E. ramidulus</i>. The mitochondrial genome spans 15,424 …
Read PDF<i>Delftia</i> spp. occur in diverse environmental and host-associated settings, but their small-molecule capabilities are not uniform across the genus. In this Minireview, we use a strain-resolved "small-molecule chassis" framework to examine cases in which exported, …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Vancomycin-resistant <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> (VREfm) poses a significant public health threat due to increasing antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors associated with severe infections. The primary objective was to investigate the genetic and phenotypic characteristics of 46 …
Read PDFWe determined the chloroplast genome of <i>Richardia brasiliensis</i>. The genome was 154,573 bp with a typical quadripartite structure: a large single-copy region (84,388 bp), a small single-copy region (17,411 bp), and two inverted repeat regions …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Morphological uniformity in Tilia (Malvaceae s.l., Tilioideae) and unclear species delimitations resulted in over 500 names associated with the about 30 species of this genus. This is also an issue for the Hyrcanian Forest diversity …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>The evolutionary relationships among palaeognath birds remain contentious despite extensive phylogenomic analyses. While the ostrich is consistently identified as the earliest diverging lineage, the relationships among non-ostrich palaeognaths remain unresolved, with conflicting topologies and low …
Read PDFThe remarkable morphological diversity and species abundance of teleost fishes offer a valuable resource for understanding vertebrate evolution. In phase I of the Fish10K project, genomes of 110 teleost species were sequenced and assembled, filling …
Read PDFCoastal beach environments harbor diverse bacterial communities, yet their antimicrobial potential remains largely unexplored. This study evaluates the antimicrobial potential of a bacterial isolate 2AT10 from Brazilian beach sand through in vitro, in silico, and …
Read PDFAfrican swine fever (ASF) has been a persistent threat to Eurasian pig populations since its emergence in 2007. The disease has become endemic in numerous countries, including Poland, Germany, Romania, Hungary, Italy, the Philippines, and …
Read PDF<b>Background/Objectives</b>: Among <i>Enterobacterales</i>, OXA-48-like-producing <i>Proteus mirabilis</i> strains have been scarcely detected. Herein, we characterized a <i>bla</i><sub>OXA-48</sub>-harbouring <i>P. mirabilis</i> strain recovered from Greece (Pm GR-1), while phylogenomics and comparative genomics analyses with previously published <i>bla</i><sub>OXA-48</sub> carriers …
Read PDF<i>Peganum harmala</i> (L.) Schrad., a perennial medicinal plant thriving in arid Moroccan soils, represents a natural reservoir of unexplored bacterial diversity. To uncover its hidden foliar endosphere microbiota, we isolated and characterized two <i>Acinetobacter</i> strains: …
Read PDFSpeciation often results from the accumulation of reproductive isolation associated with lineage divergence, but secondary contact between diverged lineages can reshape the trajectory of speciation and reveal its underlying processes. The Indonesian island of Sulawesi …
Read PDFThe Asteraceae (Compositae) is the largest flowering plant family, ubiquitous in most terrestrial communities, and morphologically diverse. A two-step, ancient whole genome triplication (paleohexaploidization) occurred at approximately the same time as the evolutionary innovation and …
Read PDF<i>Gloiopeltis furcata</i> is an annual red alga of Endocladiaceae, Florideophyceae, showing high economic and medical values. The chloroplast genome is instrumental for evolutionary studies, yet that of <i>G. furcata</i> remains unreported. Here, the chloroplast genome …
