<i>Distoseptispora</i> comprises ecologically significant species that are predominantly saprobic, inhabiting freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems, where they contribute to nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition. Recent taxonomic studies have revealed several new <i>Distoseptispora</i> species, highlighting its …
Read PDFGenomes are typically mosaics of regions with different evolutionary histories. When speciation events are closely spaced in time, recombination makes the regions sharing the same history small, and the evolutionary history changes rapidly as we …
Read PDF<i>Klebsiella pneumoniae sensu stricto</i> (KpI) is an opportunistic pathogen capable of residing as a commensal in both human and bovine intestinal tracts and can cause serious systemic infections in humans and severe clinical mastitis in …
Read PDFSeaweeds 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 PDFThe medial preoptic area (mPOA) regulates the probability and intensity of singing behavior in birds. Polzin and colleagues examined the molecular changes in the mPOA that were associated with gregarious song in European starlings (Sturnus …
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 PDFBacterioplankton of the SAR11 clade are the most abundant marine microorganisms and consist of numerous subclades spanning order-level divergence (<i>Pelagibacterales</i>). The assignment of the earliest diverging subclade V (a.k.a. HIMB59) to the <i>Pelagibacterales</i> is highly …
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 PDFWe present a genome assembly from afemale specimen of <i>Andrena trimmerana</i> (Trimmer's Mining Bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Andrenidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 399.10 megabases. Most of the assembly (86.18%) is scaffolded …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4><i>Gynostemma pentaphyllum</i> (Thunb.) Makino is an important medicinal plant within the Cucurbitaceae family. Despite its economic and pharmacological importance, genomic resources for this species remain limited.<h4>Methods</h4>We sequenced and assembled the complete mitochondrial genome of <i>G. …
Read PDFA thermophilic, yellow-pigmented bacterial strain, designated LT1-2-5<sup>T</sup>, was isolated from litter in the Cisolok Geyser, West Java, Indonesia. This strain is Gram-stain-negative, aerobic and non-sporulating, with rod-shaped cells and short filaments. Phylogenetic analyses based on …
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 …
