Comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial genomes of four cordyceps fungi
Cordyceps is a large group of entomogenous, medicinally important fungi. In this study, we sequenced, assembled, and annotated the entire mitochondrial genome of Ophiocordyceps xuefengensis, in addition to comparing it against other three complete ...

The current article focuses on the morphological and molecular characterization of the often inconspicuous genus Amicula. This recently erected genus from brackish and marine sediments was monotypic but here we describe two new tropical species: Amicula ...

Fungal complexes are often composed of morphologically nearly indistinguishable species with high genetic similarity. However, despite their close relationship, they can exhibit distinct phenotypic differences in pathogenicity and production of ...

Complete mitogenome of the streptophyte green alga Coleochaete scutata (Coleochaetophyceae)
We have sequenced the mitogenome of Coleochaete scutata strain SAG 110.80M. This mitogenome is the largest among the streptophyte green algae examined to date.

Information content of a polymeric macromolecule can be calculated in bits, by multiplying the number of building blocks that encompasses the entire length of the macromolecule with the Shannon’s entropy of each building block, which could be determined ...

The conservation of intronic sequences was studied in the mitochondrial solute carrier (SLC25A*) genes of Zebrafish, Chicken, Mouse and Human. These genes are homologous and the coding sequences have been well conserved throughout Vertebrates, but the ...

Horizontal Transfer and Gene Loss Shaped the Evolution of Alpha-Amylases in Bilaterians
The subfamily GH13_1 of alpha-amylases is typical of Fungi, but it is also found in some unicellular eukaryotes (e.g., Amoebozoa, choanoflagellates) and non-bilaterian Metazoa.

Introns: The Functional Benefits of Introns in Genomes [PDF]
The intron has been a big biological mystery since it was first discovered in several aspects. First, all of the completely sequenced eukaryotes harbor introns in the genomic structure, whereas no prokaryotes identified so far carry introns.

Dynamics of genomic innovation in the unicellular ancestry of animals
Which genomic innovations underpinned the origin of multicellular animals is still an open debate. Here, we investigate this question by reconstructing the genome architecture and gene family diversity of ancestral premetazoans, aiming to date the ...
