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 ...

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 ...

The dawn of relaxed phylogenetics.
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 ...

Molecular Phylogenetics and Mitochondrial Evolution
The myth of a “typical” mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is a rock-hard belief in the field of genetics, at least for the animal kingdom [...]

Tropical Principal Component Analysis and Its Application to Phylogenetics [PDF]
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.

Comprehensive analysis of genomic mutations, gene expression, DNA methylation, and pathway analysis of TCGA data was carried out to define cancer types in which proteasome subunits expression is associated with worse survival. Albeit the effect of specific proteasome subunits on cellular function, the main role of the proteasome is better evaluated ...

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
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) [...]

Exploring deep phylogenies using protein structure : a dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biochemistry, Institute of Natural and Mathematical Sciences, Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand [PDF]
Recent times have seen an exponential growth in protein sequence and structure data. The most popular way of characterising newly determined protein sequences is to compare them to well characterised sequences and predict the function of novel sequences ...
