Seaweeds are known for their rich bioactive compounds with potential applications in biotechnological and industrial fields. However, seaweed associated bacteria are least explored for bioactive and other functional capabilities. A study aimed to bio-prospect seaweed …
Read PDFMany algorithms are available for inferring species trees from various input types while accounting for gene tree discordance. Several quartet-based species tree inference methods, collectively known as the ASTRAL family, are based on similar ideas …
Read PDFPhylogenetic relationships are crucial for solving various biological questions, serving as a fundamental knowledge in biology. However, the application of phylogenetic trees has been limited by inadequate coverage of updated published phylogenies and the scarcity …
Read PDFTropical Asia's complex, dynamic geological and climatic history, coupled with its diverse topography, provides a fascinating setting to study evolutionary processes driving high biodiversity. This phylogenomic research reconstructs the evolutionary history of the strictly arboreal …
Read PDFThe phyla making up the major animal clade of Spiralia have been clear since the advent of molecular phylogenetics; the relationships between these spiralian phyla have not. The lack of consensus over the relationships between …
Read PDFThis perspective outlines emerging trends, key challenges, and future opportunities in evolutionary and comparative genomics. Our starting point are the topics presented at the 2024 EMBO Early Career Lecture Course "Evolutionary and Comparative Genomics", which …
Read PDFWe investigate the evolution of microbial metabolisms from the last universal common ancestor to the extant biota through comparative phylogenomics, reconciling the evolution of the genes that underpin metabolic pathways with a time-calibrated tree of …
Read PDFExtracellular polysaccharides (EPSs) from thermophilic bacteria are promising biopolymers due to their stability and structural variability. This study aimed to characterize the genomic and chemical features of EPS produced by Parageobacillus toebii strain H-70 isolated …
Read PDFMultidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (MDR K. pneumoniae) is a significant pathogen associated with nosocomial infections, often leading to high morbidity and mortality. This resistance is largely due to the efficient horizontal transfer of mobile genetic elements …
Read PDFIranian Barbel taxonomy and evolutionary history (Cyprinidae: Barbinae and Torinae) remain contentious due to overlapping morphological traits and limited molecular data. This study applies an integrative taxonomic framework to elucidate species boundaries, phylogenetic relationships, and …
Read PDF<h4>Objective</h4>To construct and externally validate a multi-omics nomogram that uses only routine clinicopathological variables to predict tumor mutational burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), NTRK/PIK3CA mutation status and overall survival (OS) in colorectal cancer (CRC).<h4>Methods</h4>TCGA data …
Read PDFThe subphylum Pezizomycotina (filamentous ascomycetes) is the largest clade within Ascomycota. Despite the importance of this group of fungi, our understanding of their evolution is still limited due to insufficient taxon sampling. Although next-generation sequencing …
Read PDFUltramafic substrates can play a role in fostering ecological adaptation and microevolutionary dynamics. The <i>Armeria denticulata</i> complex includes two flowering plant species (<i>A. denticulata</i> and <i>A. saviana</i>): the former is a strict serpentinophyte endemic to …
Read PDFThe <i>Eria</i> sensu lato (<i>Eria</i> s.l.) complex represents a highly diverse yet taxonomically challenging orchid lineage. To comprehensively elucidate its evolutionary history, we sequenced 14 complete chloroplast genomes and assembled a robust 18-taxon dataset encompassing …
Read PDF<i>Camphora officinarum</i> (syn. <i>Cinnamomum camphora</i>) is an ecologically, medicinally, and economically important tree species widely known for its essential oils (EOs), timber, and long history of use in traditional medicine. In recent years, renewed interest …
Read PDFThe yeast genus <i>Torulaspora</i> (subphylum <i>Saccharomycotina</i>, family <i>Saccharomycetaceae</i>) is mostly known from its type species, <i>T. delbrueckii</i>, a frequent colonizer of wine and sourdough bread fermentations. The genus currently contains 10 species that are typically …
Read PDF<i>Cymbidium</i> (Orchidaceae: Epidendroideae), with around 60 species, is widely-distributed across Southeast Asia, providing a nice system for studying the processes that underlie patterns of biodiversity in the region. However, phylogenetic relationships of <i>Cymbidium</i> have not …
Read PDF<i>Anthurium</i> (Araceae) is one of the most species-rich Neotropical genera, yet its infrageneric classification remains unresolved. This study tests the monophyly of the morphologically defined <i>Anthurium</i> sect. <i>Pachyneurium</i> diagnosed by rosulate habit, involute prefoliation, and …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Amidst the escalating loss of global biodiversity, freshwater mussels (family Unionidae) have become one of the most imperiled animal groups. Acquiring more biological and phylogenetic information on understudied taxa constitutes a pivotal aspect of conservation …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>The evolutionary relationships within Stomiiformes, a diverse order of deep-sea fishes dominating the mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones, remain contentious due to conflicting morphological and molecular evidence. These fishes, comprising 464 species across four traditionally recognized …
