EST, Expressed sequence tag;RAD, restriction site associated DNA;SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism;SSR, simple sequence repeat. The new conceptual framework of pharmacophylogenomics highlights the comprehensive analysis of the evolutionary history ofmedicinal organisms(especially the predominant medicinal plant...
such as the precise definition of a “character” (that is, an observable feature, or trait, of an organism), required subjective decisions, thereby reducing the credibility of phenetics as an objective approach to phylogeny. Although the tabulation of common characters remains very important in ...
Molecular phylogenyis a relatively new scientific discipline that involves the comparative analysis of thenucleotide sequencesof genes and theamino acid sequencesand structural features of proteins from which evolutionary histories and relationships, and in some cases also functions, can be inferred. The ...
Echinodermata - Who are they? Holothuroidea - Sea cucumbers - bottom feeders, with very reduced (or absent) ossicles Taxa we have looked at so far Phylum Class Order Porifera Calcarea Demospongia Hexactinellida Platyhelminthes Turbellaria (free-living) Trematoda (flukes) Cestoda (tapeworms) Mollu...
Biological species concept: This is the most commonly used definition of a "species," whereby populations of organisms are determined to belong to the same species if their members interbreed and produce viable offspring. Cladogenetic: adjective referring to evolution through splitting events. If a...
Microbiome data from sequencing experiments contain the relative abundance of a large number of microbial taxa with their evolutionary relationships represented by a phylogenetic tree. The compositional and high-dimensional nature of the microbiome media
An important role in the evolution of intracellular trafficking machinery in eukaryotes played small GTPases belonging to the Rab family known as pivotal regulators of vesicle docking, fusion and transport. The Rab family is very diversified and divided
The tremendous diversity in biology, morphology and life history of the organisms known as the algae, as well as their polyphyletic evolutionary history, make a simple, practical definition of the group impossible (see, for example, Mattox and Stewart, 1984; Bold and Wynne, 1985; van den Hoek...
to other genera (Singer1944; Donk1966; Ryvarden1984). Recently, a few species were described in the genus based on morphological characters and molecular data (Lindner et al.2011; Li and Cui2013; Han et al.2015). Currently, the genus is restricted to species with the above definition. ...
Overall, the definition of 3 main antigenic variants was established based on specific amino acid markers located in a precise capsid position. However, the detection of several minor variants and incongruence observed between the antigenic classification and phylogeny have posed doubts on the ...
