<h4>Background</h4>Tribe Oenantheae consists mainly of aquatic species within the Apioideae. The unique morphology and habitat distinguish this group from other Apioideae groups. However, the genomic information of these group species has not been widely developed, …
Read PDFFeralization, the re-establishment of wild populations from domesticated ancestors, can involve multiple parallel character reversions and potentially also rampant gene flow with cultivated and/or naturally wild material. It hence poses great challenges for infraspecific classification, …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>With the advances in high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatic pipelines, mitochondrial genomes have become increasingly popular for phylogenetic analyses across different clades of invertebrates. Despite the vast rise in available mitogenomic datasets of molluscs, one class …
Read PDFProbiotics are essential for promoting health, with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from traditional fermented foods like Ethiopian kocho offering valuable benefits. The objective of this study was to systematically analyse the genomic characteristics, bacteriocin production, …
Read PDFUnderstanding the ecological adaptation of tree species can not only reveal the evolutionary potential but also benefit biodiversity conservation under global climate change. <i>Quercus</i> is a keystone genus in Northern Hemisphere forests, and its wide …
Read PDFWe present metagenomes of 16 samples of water and sediment from two lakes, collected from eutrophic and non-eutrophic areas, including pooled samples enriched with phosphate and nitrate. Additionally, we assembled 167 bacterial metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). …
Read PDFDeep genome skimming (DGS) has emerged as a promising approach to recover orthologous nuclear genes for large-scale phylogenomic analyses. However, its reliability with low DNA quality and quantity typical of archival specimens, such as herbarium …
Read PDFThe subclass Peritrichia encompasses over 1,000 species of ciliates, demonstrating both wide distribution and significant morphological diversity across aquatic environments. Despite their ecological significance and unique biological attributes, genomic information for peritrichs has remained sparse. …
Read PDFThe genus <i>Pseudomonas</i> includes metabolically versatile microorganisms occupying diverse niches, from environmental habitats to plant pathogens, and has clinically significant strains. For this reason, <i>Pseudomonas</i> spp. might act as a reservoir of antimicrobial resistance genes, …
Read PDFThe complete mitochondrial genomes of the whip spiders Charinus carajas, C. ferreus, and Heterophrynus longicornis were sequenced, annotated, and compared with other mitogenomes of whip spiders and arachnids. The three new mitogenomes have the 37 …
Read PDFImproving the diversity and quality of genome assemblies for non-human mammals has been a long-standing goal of comparative genomics. The last year saw substantial progress towards this goal, including the release of genome alignments for …
Read PDFAs phylogenomic datasets have grown in size, researchers have developed new ways to measure biological variation and to assess statistical support for specific branches. Larger datasets have more sites and loci and therefore less sampling …
Read PDFBlood-feeding is crucial for the reproductive cycle of the mosquito <i>Aedes aegypti</i>, as well as for the transmission of arboviruses to hosts. It is postulated that blood meals may influence the mosquito microbiome but shifts …
Read PDFSix cattle heads which tested positive against bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in Morocco were investigated to confirm the disease and to determine the source(s) of infection. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was directly performed on tissue samples …
Read PDFThough the phylogenetic signal of loci on sex chromosomes can differ from those on autosomes, chromosomal-level genome assemblies for nonvertebrates are still relatively scarce and conservation of chromosomal gene content across deep phylogenetic scales has …
Read PDFA myelination is essential for neural function in the vertebrate central nervous system, yet the molecular details of how the oligodendrocyte differentiation program has evolved remain poorly understood. Here, we performed a cross-species single-cell transcriptomic …
Read PDFIn this study of evolutionary relationships in the subfamily Rubioideae (Rubiaceae), we take advantage of the off-target proportion of reads generated via previous target capture sequencing projects based on nuclear genomic data to build a …
Read PDFPutative metazoan body fossils from the Precambrian are curiously lacking morphological characteristics that link them unambiguously to extant animal phyla, including sponges. Chemical fossils such as the rare C<sub>30</sub> hydrocarbons 24-<i>iso</i>-propylcholestane (24-<i>i</i>pc) and 26-methylstigmastane (26-mes), …
Read PDFThe historical signal in nucleotide sequences becomes eroded over time by substitutions occurring repeatedly at the same sites. This phenomenon, known as substitution saturation, is recognized as one of the primary obstacles to deep-time phylogenetic …
