The complete mitochondrial genomes of two ghost moths, Thitarodes renzhiensis and Thitarodes yunnanensis: the ancestral gene arrangement in Lepidoptera [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Lepidoptera encompasses more than 160,000 described species that have been classified into 45–48 superfamilies. The previously determined Lepidoptera mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) are limited to six superfamilies of the lineage Ditrysia.

Improving Whole Biodiversity Monitoring and Discovery With Environmental DNA Metagenomics

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) metagenomics sequences all DNA molecules present in environmental samples and has the potential of identifying virtually any organism from which they are derived. However, due to unacceptable levels of false positives and negatives, this approach is underexplored as a tool for biodiversity monitoring across the tree of

Complete mitochondrial genome of the ambush bug, Amblythyreus gestroi (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Amblythyreus gestroi is described in the present paper. The complete mitogenome is a 15,228 bp circular DNA molecule, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and a control region.

The trouble with MEAM2: Implications of pseudogenes on species delimitation in the globally invasive Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) cryptic species complex [PDF]

, 2017
Molecular species identification using sub-optimal PCR primers can over-estimate species diversity due to co-amplification of nuclear mitochondrial (NUMT) DNA/pseudogenes.

A Comprehensive Evaluation of Taxonomic Classifiers in Marine Vertebrate eDNA Studies

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a widely used tool for surveying marine vertebrate biodiversity. To this end, many computational tools have been released and a plethora of bioinformatic approaches are used for eDNA‐based community composition analysis.

Assembly and characterization of the complete mitogenome of Bauhinia purpurea (Leguminosae)

BMC Genomic Data
Objective Mitochondrial genome sequences are very useful for understanding the mitogenome evolution itself and reconstructing phylogeny of different plant lineages. Bauhinia purpurea, a species from the legume family Leguminosae, is widely distributed in

The complete mitochondrial genome of the sea urchin, Echinometra sp. EZ

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
The complete mitogenome of Echinometra sp. EZ has been described and fully annotated in this study. Phylogenetic analysis of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) from six Echinometra species confirms that our sample is E. sp. EZ. The mitogenome is 15,698

Leveraging Synteny to Generate Reference Genomes for Conservation: Assembling the Genomes of Hector's and Māui Dolphins

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Escalating concern regarding the impacts of reduced genetic diversity on the conservation of endangered species has spurred efforts to obtain chromosome‐level genomes through consortia such as the Vertebrate Genomes Project. However, assembling reference genomes for many threatened species remains challenging due to difficulties obtaining ...
