Hybridization-based target enrichment sequencing (Hyb-Seq) is a powerful approach for phylogenomic studies of non-model organisms, particularly those with complex genomes or from degraded materials such as herbarium specimens. To improve phylogenetic resolution within the challenging …
Read PDFMetazoa and Fungi have been extensively studied to reconstruct the trajectory of Opisthokont evolution. Their sister group, Amoebozoa, provides additional potential to generate valuable insights into the origins of Opisthokont lineages. Amoebozoa represent a diverse …
Read PDFPhylogenomics is a transformative approach in systematics, conservation biology, and biomedical research, enabling the inference of evolutionary relationships by leveraging hundreds to thousands of genes from genomic or transcriptomic data. However, acquiring high-quality genomes and …
Read PDFTenthredinidae (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinoidea), the most species-rich sawfly family, features a controversial subfamily classification, particularly regarding <i>Eriocampa</i> Hartig, 1837, <i>Conaspidia</i> Konow, 1898, and their relatives. In this study, we sequenced and characterized 15 complete mitochondrial genomes …
Read PDFThe genus <i>Stachys</i>, a large and taxonomically intricate group within the Lamiaceae family, includes numerous species valued in traditional medicine, yet their evolutionary relationships are often obscured by morphological complexity. To resolve these persistent difficulties, …
Read PDFExtensive exploration of lesser-explored habitats undertaken in search of novel and sustainable sources of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, renewable energy sources, and dyestuffs has uncovered the capability of cyanobacteria or blue-green algae as producers of these commodities. …
Read PDFNuclear genome sequencing for phylogenetics is resource-intensive while mitochondrial genomes can be sequenced and analyzed with relative ease for building densely sampled phylogenetic trees of the most species-rich lineages of animals. Here, we develop a …
Read PDF<i>Elsholtzia</i> Willd. is the largest genus in tribe Elsholtzieae (Lamiaceae) and has notable medicinal and economic value in East Asia. During a field survey in Sichuan Province, China, we discovered a morphologically distinct population of …
Read PDFAs a core lineage within Polygonoideae, the tribe Polygoneae holds significant taxonomic and evolutionary importance. These species are primarily distributed across the North Temperate Zone, with a few extending into the tropics. China serves as …
Read PDFWe report the draft genome sequence of <i>Dongia</i> sp. strain agr-C8, isolated from the rhizosphere of <i>Phragmites australis</i> using a droplet-based cultivation method. The draft genome is 5,596,395 bp with a G+C content of 66.0%. …
Read PDFFor the freshwater red algal order Batrachospermales, the number of plastid genomes available is relatively small compared to the number of genera. Fully assembled plastid genomes can provide insights into plastid evolution and crucial data …
Read PDF<b>Background/Objectives</b>: <i>Bacteroides</i> species are key members of the human gut microbiota but can act as opportunistic pathogens. This study investigated the genomic features of clinical <i>Bacteroides</i> isolates from southern Thailand. <b>Methods</b>: Sixteen isolates were collected …
Read PDFPhylogenetic marker genes are traditionally selected from a fixed collection of whole genomes representing major microbial phyla, covering only a small fraction of gene families. However, most microbial diversity resides in metagenome-assembled genomes, which exhibit …
Read PDFGloeobacterales occupy a key phylogenetic position among cyanobacteria and are distinguished by the absence of thylakoid membranes. Using comparative genomics and phylogenetic analyses, we show that horizontal gene transfer has played a major role in …
Read PDFThe circular mitochondrial genome of <i>Kolla paulula</i>, an insect vector of <i>Xylella fastidiosa</i> causing grape Pierce's disease (PD) in Taiwan, is 14,575 bp. The genome encodes genes for 13 proteins, 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), and …
Read PDF<i>Serratia marcescens</i> is a highly environmentally adaptable gram-negative bacterium which can be found in both free-living and host-associated lifestyles, where it can function as either a commensal or a pathogen. The diverse array of secreted …
Read PDFBiology is in a genomics era, but many researchers may still be alienated from these techniques as a lack of genomic resources remains for many animal groups, necessitating further democratization. Hybrid capture is a popular …
Read PDFThe leafroller moths <i>Cydia glandicolana</i> and <i>Cydia kurokoi</i> are economically important pests. Here, we report the first complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of these two species,with length of 15,395 bp and 15,246 bp, respectively. Each mitogenome …
