Comparison of Tree-Child Phylogenetic Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 Phylogenetic networks are a generalization of phylogenetic trees that allow for the representation of non-treelike evolutionary events, like recombination, hybridization, or lateral gene transfer. In this paper, we present and study a new class of phylogenetic networks, called tree-child phylogenetic networks, where every non-extant species has some ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Day‐night cycles trigger sharp relative humidity (RH) shifts in greenhouses. Rapid humidity drops dehydrate Corynespora cassiicola spores, inducing shrinkage, jerking movements, and weakened inter‐spore connections that drive detachment. Wind is essential for dispersal, with even mild airflow enabling rapid pathogen spread. These synergistic effects of

Encoding and Constructing 1-Nested Phylogenetic Networks with Trinets [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 Phylogenetic networks are a generalization of phylogenetic trees that are used in biology to represent reticulate or non-treelike evolution. Recently, several algorithms have been developed which aim to construct phylogenetic networks from biological data using {\em triplets}, i.e.

Phylogenetics and the Human Microbiome [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2014 The human microbiome is the ensemble of genes in the microbes that live inside and on the surface of humans. Because microbial sequencing information is now much easier to come by than phenotypic information, there has been an explosion of sequencing and genetic analysis of microbiome samples.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The continental‐scale study reveals that soil phosphorus strongly predicts the richness of soil pathogenic oomycetes in Chinese grasslands, while precipitation and plant species richness drive their absolute abundance; modeling predicts ≈42% of grassland areas may face elevated oomycete disease risk under future climate scenarios, especially in typical

Structure and Antigenicity of Kaposi's Sarcoma‐Associated Herpesvirus Glycoprotein B
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Kaposi's sarcoma‐associated herpesvirus (KSHV) causes severe cancers without effective treatments. This study presents an atomic model of KSHV's critical infection protein, gB, revealing a unique structure shared with related herpesviruses like Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV). The structural similarity highlights vulnerable targets for antibodies, guiding the

Inference of population structure of purebred dairy and beef cattle using high-density genotype data
Animal, 2017 Information on the genetic diversity and population structure of cattle breeds is useful when deciding the most optimal, for example, crossbreeding strategies to improve phenotypic performance by exploiting heterosis.
