A molecular phylogeny of Hypnales (Bryophyta) inferred from ITS2 sequence-structure data [PDF]
Background Hypnales comprise over 50% of all pleurocarpous mosses. They provide a young radiation complicating phylogenetic analyses. To resolve the hypnalean phylogeny, it is necessary to use a phylogenetic marker providing highly variable features to ...

Molecular phylogeny of Asian Meconopsis based on nuclear ribosomal and chloroplast DNA sequence data. [PDF]
The taxonomy and phylogeny of Asian Meconopsis (Himalayan blue poppy) remain largely unresolved. We used the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) and the chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) trnL-F region for phylogenetic ...

Rise and Fall of SARS-CoV-2 Lineage A.27 in Germany
Here, we report on the increasing frequency of the SARS-CoV-2 lineage A.27 in Germany during the first months of 2021. Genomic surveillance identified 710 A.27 genomes in Germany as of 2 May 2021, with a vast majority identified in laboratories from a ...

Zoonotic Malaria Risk in Serra Do Mar, Atlantic Forest, Brazil
Here, the main goal is to assess natural infections of Plasmodium spp. in anophelines in a forest reserve from the same region where we previously found a surprisingly high rate (5.2%) of plasmodia infections (n = 25) in Kerteszia mosquitoes (N = 480) on
