Asgardarchaeota have been proposed as the closest living relatives to eukaryotes, and a total of 72 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) representing six primary lineages in this archaeal phylum have thus far been described. These organisms are predicted to be fermentative heterotrophs contributing to ...
A clade is a group of organisms that have evolved from a common ancestor. Evidence for which species are part of a clade can be obtained from the base sequences of a gene or the corresponding amino acid sequence of a protein. Sequence differences accumulate gradually so there is a positive ...
crassus. DNA sequence data are good char- acters for taxonomic inference (i.e. DNA taxonomy) and for analysis of the deeper phylogenetic history of organisms. However, loci with different rates of evolution are typically required to resolve these different types of questions. The nuclear small ...
Figure 7.Representative phylogenetic-inferred cladograms of native crayfish species (“Crayfish”) from the families Cambaridae (native geography: North America), Astacidae (native geography: Europe and North America), Cambaroididae (native geography: China and Japan), and Parastacidae (native geogra...
Moreover, Pteriomorphia bivalves can serve as valuable model organisms for studying the evolutionary patterns and diversification of the TIMP gene family in invertebrates. In addition to the Pteriomorphia bivalves, Pteria penguin, commonly known as the penguin’s wing oyster, belongs to the family...
(Losos 1990; Ben-Moshe et al. 2001; Aguirre et al. 2002; Zeffer et al. 2003; Sacco and Van Valkenburgh 2004). This has opened entire new areas of research into the covariation between organisms and their environment, which is also the basic foundation for understanding evolutionary change ...
For freshwater fishes, distribution patterns and dispersal dynamics must be interpreted in the context of the geological and geographic histories of river basins20. Unlike vagile terrestrial organisms, the ability of strictly freshwater fish to move between drainages is limited by the hydrological connec...
Pythium ultimum is a ubiquitous oomycete plant pathogen responsible for a variety of diseases on a broad range of crop and ornamental species. The P. ultimum genome (42.8 Mb) encodes 15,290 genes and has extensive sequence similarity and synteny with rel
Mitochondrial DNA-derived sequences have become popular markers for evolutionary studies, as their comparison may yield significant insights into the evolution of both the organisms and their genomes. From the more than 24,000 teleost species, only 254 c
