Structural evolution drives diversification of the large LRR-RLK gene family [PDF]
, 2020 Cells are continuously exposed to chemical signals that they must discriminate between and respond to appropriately. In embryophytes, the leucine‐rich repeat receptor‐like kinases (LRR‐RLKs) are signal receptors critical in development and defense.

Metagenomic microbial community profiling using unique clade-specific marker genes
Nature Methods, 2012 Metagenomic shotgun sequencing data can identify microbes populating a microbial community and their proportions, but existing taxonomic profiling methods are inefficient for increasingly large data sets.

A Unique Clade of SARS-CoV-2 Viruses is Associated with Lower Viral Loads in Patient Upper Airways
medRxiv, 2020 The rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has been accompanied by the emergence of distinct viral clades, though their clinical significance remains unclear.

Test a Clade in Phylogenetic Trees [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2006 We develop a new method for testing a portion of a tree (called a clade) based on multiple tests of many 4-taxon trees in this paper. This is particularly useful when the phylogenetic tree constructed by other methods have a clade that is difficult to explain from a biological point of view. The statement about the test of the clade can be made through

Monkeypox: An Uncommon Re-emerging Virus- Threat to Mankind [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2023 Monkeypox Virus (MPV) causes rare zoonotic illness. The Central African (or Congo Basin) clade and the West African clade are its two genetic subgroups, of which Central African subgroup is more lethal.

The Case for Adopting the “Species Complex” Nomenclature for the Etiologic Agents of Cryptococcosis
mSphere, 2017 Cryptococcosis is a potentially lethal disease of humans/animals caused by Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii. Distinction between the two species is based on phenotypic and genotypic characteristics.
