Pangenomic Definition of Prokaryotic Species and the Phylogenetic Structure of Prochlorococcus spp.
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The pangenome is the collection of all groups of orthologous genes (OGGs) from a set of genomes. We apply the pangenome analysis to propose a definition of prokaryotic species based on identification of lineage-specific gene sets.

Coming to America: Multiple Origins of New World Geckos [PDF]
, 2011 Geckos in the Western Hemisphere provide an excellent model to study faunal assembly at a continental scale. We generated a time-calibrated phylogeny, including exemplars of all New World gecko genera, to produce a biogeographic scenario for the New ...

Cowpox virus: What’s in a Name?
Viruses, 2017 Traditionally, virus taxonomy relied on phenotypic properties; however, a sequence-based virus taxonomy has become essential since the recent requirement of a species to exhibit monophyly.

Phylogeny of some species of Astragalus (Fabaceae) based on morphological data
یافتههای نوین در علوم زیستی, 2020 The phylogenetic relationships among 39 species belonging to 12 sections of Astragalus from Iran were studied on the basis of 29 morphological characters. The cladistics analysis of the morphological data was performed using PAUP* 4.0b10 program.
