The Molecular Phylogeny of Land Plants: Progress and Future Prospects

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Phylogenetics has become a powerful tool in many areas of biology. Land plants are the most important primary producers of terrestrial ecosystems and have colonized various habitats on Earth.

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

A Non-Destructive Method, Micro-CT, Supports the Identification of Three New Casmara Species from Sumatra and Taiwan (Lepidoptera: Ashinagidae)

open access: yesInsects
Insects exhibit diverse ecological characteristics, but species identification is challenging due to high morphological similarity. Traditional methods require genitalia dissection, which damages specimens and flattens three-dimensional structures ...

Molecular Phylogenetics and Mitochondrial Evolution

open access: yesLife, 2021
The myth of a “typical” mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is a rock-hard belief in the field of genetics, at least for the animal kingdom [...]

Translating whole‐genome doubling into precision medicine in cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Whole‐genome doubling creates a WGD‐positive tumor state characterized by persistent chromosomal instability, karyotypic diversification, and cellular stress. These same biological pressures drive aggressive tumor evolution while exposing therapeutic vulnerabilities, providing a rationale for WGD‐informed precision medicine. Whole‐genome doubling (WGD)

Aureoboletus projectellus (Fungi, Boletales) – Occurrence data, environmental layers and habitat suitability models for North America and Europe

open access: yesData in Brief, 2019
Aureoboletus projectellus is a bolete species native to eastern North America, which has been introduced to Central Europe. Here we present summarized data about occurrence of the fungus in both disjunctive ranges based on (1) de novo georeferencing of ...

DNA barcodes reveal population-dependent cryptic diversity and various cases of sympatry of Korean leptonetid spiders (Araneae: Leptonetidae)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Leptonetidae are tiny, rarely encountered spiders that mainly inhabit moist environments, such as caves, leaf litter, and rock piles. Because they are microhabitat specialists, most leptonetid species have short-range endemism, and rarely occur in ...

Single‐cell DNA methylation profiling: Technologies, computation, and applications in precision oncology

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Single‐cell DNA methylation (scDNAme) profiling maps epimutational clonal evolution, revealing mechanisms of malignancy and therapeutic resistance across diverse cancer types. By providing a high‐resolution landscape of intratumoral heterogeneity, these technologies empower precise patient stratification, guide the development of enhanced ...

Is it time to abandon the flow cytometry in estimations of genome size when the K-mer analysis is available? The case of Engelhardia species

open access: yesGenomics Communications
Genome size represents a fundamental genomic trait with profound implications across evolutionary biology, ecology, and genomics. Flow cytometry (FCM) has served as the gold standard for estimating genome size for decades, while the advent of next ...
