<i>Acacia saligna</i>, a leguminous plant known for its ability to thrive under challenging environmental conditions, plays an important role in bioremediation by enhancing soil fertility and facilitating pollutant degradation. In this study, three slow-growing rhizobial …
Read PDF<h4>Premise</h4>Advances in new next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods have revolutionized phylogenetics, yet challenges remain in effectively utilizing data from a wide range of sources. A well-resolved and broadly sampled phylogeny for Sonerileae, the second-largest tribe in …
Read PDF<h4>Premise</h4>Conflicting phylogenetic signals are common in plant phylogenomics and often reflect evolutionary histories shaped by processes like hybridization, incomplete lineage sorting, and whole-genome duplication (WGD). We aimed to identify and assess these complex processes in …
Read PDF<h4>Background and aim</h4><i>Salmonella</i> Abortusequi is a significant etiological agent of equine abortions, yet limited genomic data exist, particularly in Central Asia. This study aimed to perform the first genome-wide characterization and phylogenetic analysis of three …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Lassa fever (LF) is a viral hemorrhagic illness endemic in Nigeria and other West African countries. In recent years, the number of reported cases of LF in Nigeria has increased. In this study, we discussed …
Read PDFGiant viruses continue to challenge our understanding of virology, blurring boundaries of what a virus can be. The so-called "extended <i>Asfarviridae</i>"- such as African swine fever virus, faustovirus, kaumoebavirus, pacmanvirus, and AbALV-has long puzzled taxonomists. …
Read PDFIn the traditional classification system of the Lauraceae family based on morphology and anatomy, the phylogenetic position of the genus <i>Sassafras</i> has long been controversial. Chloroplast (cp) evolution of <i>Sassafras</i> has not yet been illuminated. …
Read PDFSpecies of <i>Agapetes</i> are recognized for their radish-like tubers, which possess significant medicinal properties. Resolving the long-standing phylogenetic controversies between <i>Agapetes</i> and its relatives is crucial for facilitating the utilization of this genus. However, the …
Read PDFTree balance plays an important role in various research areas in phylogenetics and computer science. Typically, it is measured with the help of a balance index or imbalance index. There are more than 25 such …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Advances in high-throughput sequencing technology have led to a rapid increase in the number of sequenced mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes), ensuring the emergence of mitochondrial phylogenomics, as a powerful tool for understanding the evolutionary history of …
Read PDFThis dataset presents 352 nuclear genes assembled from whole genome skimming data of 43 <i>Rhododendron</i> samples. The data were generated from 14 <i>Rhododendron dauricum</i> collected from seven distinct geographical populations in Northeast China, together with …
Read PDFMastitis is a major disease in dairy cattle, often caused by <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> infection and increasingly complicated by antimicrobial resistance. As a result, bacterial strains able to effectively provide colonization resistance in the bovine mammary …
Read PDFThe evolutionary origin of red algae-derived complex plastids remains obscure. Cryptophyta, one of four eukaryotic lineages harboring these plastids, still contains nucleomorphs, which are highly reduced remnants of red algal nuclei. The genes present on …
Read PDFThe family Argidae is a significant group of agricultural and forest pests, yet its mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) diversity remains only partially understood. To expand current knowledge, we sequenced and characterized, for the first time, the …
Read PDF<i>Candidozyma auris</i> (formerly <i>Candida auris</i>) is an emerging multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen with confirmed cases in over 30 countries. Although whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis defined distinct clades during characterization of underlying genetic mechanism behind multidrug resistance, …
Read PDFSequencing via target capture has been used to great effect in phylogenetic studies of organisms such as insects, arachnids and vertebrates. However, other taxa have received limited genomic attention despite their diversity and the intensity …
Read PDFNo abstract available.
Read PDFWhile cyanobacteria are some of the most important primary producers on Earth, we still have limited understanding of their diversity and evolution. Herbarium collections offer a large and almost untapped source of cyanobacterial specimens. Here, …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Buckwheat belongs to the family Polygonaceae and genus Fagopyrum, which is characterized by high flavonoid content, short growth period, and strong environmental adaptability. Buckwheat has three cultivated species, including the annual food crops common buckwheat …
