Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Porites cylindrica From the Xisha Islands: Characterization and Comparative Mitogenomics of the Genus

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
In this study, we sequenced the dominant species, Porites andrewsi, in the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea, assembled its mitochondrial genome, and analyzed the evolution of the mitochondrial genome of Porites species in combination with 12 other mitochondrial genomes from nine other species.

The role of mitochondrial genome in inherited optic neuropathies [PDF]

, 2018
Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and Dominant Optic Atrophy (DOA) are common cause of vision loss. LHON is due in 90% of cases to three common point mutations in mitochondrial genome (mtDNA), affecting complex I subunit genes.

Novel Assay for Endangered Hong Kong Grouper (Epinephelus akaara) to Assess eDNA Shedding, Decay, and Population Status

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Novel species‐specific eDNA qPCR assay for endangered Hong Kong Grouper (Epinephelus akaara) reveals low shedding rates and rapid decay. Rare, trace detections across Hong Kong waters confirm population rarity, demonstrating eDNA as a powerful non‐invasive tool for monitoring threatened marine fishes. ABSTRACT The Hong Kong Grouper (Epinephelus akaara)

The complete mitochondrial genome of the critically endangered Angelshark, Squatina squatina [PDF]

, 2017
Here, we describe the first mitochondrial genome of the angelshark, Squatina squatina. The genome is 16,689 bp in length with 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a non-coding control region. Base composition of the mitogenome has an

Long‐read sequencing for biodiversity analyses—A comprehensive guide

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 650-667, March 2026.
Abstract DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity has revolutionised our ability to describe communities and rapidly assess anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity. Currently established molecular methods for biomonitoring rely heavily on classic metabarcoding utilising short reads, mostly through Illumina data.

Evolutionary history of the Nesophontidae, the last unplaced Recent mammal family [PDF]

, 2016
The mammalian evolutionary tree has lost several major clades through recent human-caused extinctions. This process of historical biodiversity loss has particularly affected tropical island regions such as the Caribbean, an area of great evolutionary ...

Genetic Features of the Scuticociliate Pathogen Philaster sp. Isolate FWC2 That Causes Sea Urchin Mass Mortality

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT A scuticociliate most closely related to Philaster apodigitiformis caused mass mortalities of diadematoid sea urchins and was cultured as Philaster sp. isolate FWC2. We sequenced the metagenomic content of this isolate, which was predicted to represent ≤ 56% of the complete genome.

An integrative approach to discovering cryptic species within the Bemisia tabaci whitefly species complex [PDF]

, 2018
Bemisia tabaci is a cryptic whitefly-species complex that includes some of the most damaging pests and plant-virus vectors of a diverse range of food and fibre crops worldwide.

Seeing Through the “Clouds” With Molecular “Eyes”. First eDNA‐Based Detections of Pygmy Sperm Whale (Kogia breviceps) in the Mediterranean Sea

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
For the first time, environmental DNA (eDNA) from the Mediterranean Sea reveals the cryptic presence of the pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps). Analysis of 393 samples detected repeated, spatiotemporally structured molecular signals, suggesting a resident population.

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of a Hungarian red deer (Cervus elaphus hippelaphus) from high-throughput sequencing data and its phylogenetic position within the family Cervidae [PDF]

, 2016
Recently, there has been considerable interest in genetic differentiation in the Cervidae family. A common tool used to determine genetic variation in different species, breeds and populations is mitochondrial DNA analysis, which can be used to estimate ...
