<h4>Background</h4>Universal single-copy orthologs are the most conserved components of genomes. Although they are routinely used for studying evolutionary histories and assessing new assemblies, current methods do not incorporate information from available genomic data.<h4>Results</h4>Here, we first …
Read PDFThe complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Pennisetum giganteum</i>, an African species, was sequenced and characterized for the first time. The genome is 491,311 bp long and contains 53 unique genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on these genes …
Read PDFBased on the integrated morphological and molecular evidence, <i>Amana yunjuensis</i>, originally described from Mt. Yunju in Jiangxi province, is demonstrated not essentially different from <i>A. anhuiensis</i>. Indistinguishable diagnostic characters, nested phylogenomic relationships, and no genetic …
Read PDFPhylogenomic data enriched with informative loci have significantly improved phylogenetic resolution and facilitated the elucidation of evolutionary mechanisms underlying phylogenetic discordance. Species of the East Asian lineage (EAL) within the Allium subgenus Anguinum are widespread …
Read PDFCo-infections are increasingly recognized as drivers of disease in ornamental fish, yet their genomic underpinnings and zoonotic implications remain underexplored compared to farmed species. Leveraging a One Health perspective, we investigated an acute mortality event …
Read PDFPhylogenomic analyses of long sequences, consisting of many genes and genomic segments, reconstruct organismal relationships with high statistical confidence. But, inferred relationships can be sensitive to excluding just a few sequences. Currently, there is no …
Read PDF<i>Penicillium</i> is a large and significant genus of fungi, exhibiting widespread distribution across diverse substrates. Ongoing taxonomic and nomenclatural revisions have led to an annual increase in the number of newly described species. This study …
Read PDFAll animals live in tight association with complex microbial communities, yet studying the effects of individual bacteria remains challenging. Bacterial feeding nematodes are powerful systems to study host-microbe interactions as worms can be grown on …
Read PDF<i>Ludwigia peruviana</i> (L.) H.Hara 1953, a member of the Onagraceae, exhibits diverse potential applications, yet genomic resources - particularly chloroplast (cp) genome data - remain limited. Here, we sequenced and characterized the complete cp genome …
Read PDFThe taxonomy of Burkholderia sensu lato (s.l.) has been revisited using genome-based tools, which have helped differentiate closely related species. Many species from this group are indistinguishable through phenotypic traits and 16S rRNA gene sequence …
Read PDFHanak's bat ( <i>Pipistrellus hanaki</i> Hulva and Benda 2004) is one of the most range restricted mammals in Europe, since it occurs only in Cyrenaica, Libya, and Crete (Greece). It is currently classified as 'Vulnerable' …
Read PDFThe importance of genomic surveillance strategies for pathogens has been particularly evident during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, as genomic data from the causative agent, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), have …
Read PDFHistoplasmosis is one of the most common pulmonary mycosis diseases in the world. Genome sequencing has revealed that Histoplasma, the cause of histoplasmosis, is composed of several phylogenetic species. The genetic diversity of the pathogen …
Read PDF<i>Moraxella catarrhalis</i> is an opportunistic pathogen of the human respiratory tract, primarily associated with otitis media in children and exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in adults. Despite its clinical importance, the genomic diversity and …
Read PDFBacterial spot poses a significant threat to global pepper and tomato production. Recent phylogenomic analysis of whole genome sequences has revealed that solanaceous bacterial spot-causing xanthomonads belong to five distinct phylogenetic lineages within three species, …
Read PDFWe report the genome sequences of four <i>Endozoicomonas</i> sp. strains isolated from the octocoral <i>Litophyton</i> maintained long term at an aquarium facility. Our analysis reveals the coding potential for versatile polysaccharide metabolism; Type II, III, …
Read PDFSix yeast isolates were recovered from Ipomoea flowers collected in the Cerrado biome of Tocantins, Brazil. Sequence analyses of the ITS-5.8S region and the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene indicated that …
Read PDF<i>Pogostemon</i> is the largest genus in tribe Pogostemoneae (Lamiaceae) and exhibits considerable morphological diversity, which has complicated species delimitation in parts of Southeast Asia. During botanical surveys in Pu'er City, Yunnan Province, China, a distinctive …
Read PDFSternorrhyncha, a suborder of Hemiptera, comprises sap-feeding insects with piercing-sucking mouthparts, most of which are important agricultural and forestry pests, including aphids, psyllids, whiteflies, and scale insects. While the mitochondrial genome is a highly accessible …
