Molecular Phylogenetics and Mitochondrial Evolution
Life, 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 [...]

Structural Phylogenetics with Confidence
Molecular biology and evolution, 2020 For evaluating the deepest evolutionary relationships among proteins, sequence similarity is too low for application of sequence-based homology search or phylogenetic methods.

Protein O‐glycosylation in the Bacteroidota phylum
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Species of the Bacteroidota phylum exhibit a unique O‐glycosylation system. It modifies noncytoplasmic proteins on a specific amino acid motif with a shared glycan core but a species‐specific outer glycan. A locus of multiple glycosyltransferases responsible for the synthesis of the outer glycan has been identified.

The dawn of relaxed phylogenetics.
PLoS Biology, 2023 Tracing the history of evolution across time is a primary goal of evolutionary biology. The 2006 publication of a landmark study on relaxed phylogenetics in PLOS Biology enabled biologists to shed light on evolution's tempo and shaped the future of ...

Tropical Principal Component Analysis and Its Application to Phylogenetics [PDF]
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2017 Principal component analysis is a widely used method for the dimensionality reduction of a given data set in a high-dimensional Euclidean space. Here we define and analyze two analogues of principal component analysis in the setting of tropical geometry.

Crinoid phylogeny: a preliminary analysis (Echinodermata: Crinoidea) [PDF]
, 2004 We describe the first molecular and morphological analysis of extant crinoid high-level inter-relationships. Nuclear and mitochondrial gene sequences and a cladistically coded matrix of 30 morphological characters are presented, and analysed by ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.IqgC is a RasGAP from Dictyostelium discoideum. IqgC binds RasG via its RasGAP domain and deactivates it on macroendocytic cups, thereby suppressing the uptake of fluid and particles. IqgC has a positive effect on cell‐substratum adhesion, and its RGCt domain is required for recruitment to ventral foci.

InsectsInsects 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 ...

Scientific 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 ...

Phylogenetic Insights on Patterns of HIV-1 Spread and the Design of Epidemic Control Measures
Viruses, 2022 Phylogenetics provides a unique structural framework to track the spread of viral diseases, such as HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus type 1), the causative agent of AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) [...]
