Phylogenomic approaches to deciphering the tree of life [PDF]

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, 2015
Phylogenomics comprises an interdisciplinary field of comparative biology that uses genomic data to produce phylogenetic relationships among organisms (Philippe et al., 2005; Chan & Ragan, 2013). The term “phylogenomics” was initially applied to studies on gene functions (Eisen, 1998) but subsequently has been widely used to infer the tree of life ...

Genome-scale data resolve ancestral rock-inhabiting lifestyle in Dothideomycetes (Ascomycota)

IMA Fungus, 2019
Dothideomycetes is the most diverse fungal class in Ascomycota and includes species with a wide range of lifestyles. Previous multilocus studies have investigated the taxonomic and evolutionary relationships of these taxa but often failed to resolve ...

Plastome phylogenomics and phylogenetic diversity of endangered and threatened grassland species (Poaceae) in a North American tallgrass prairie

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Native grasslands are one of the most endangered ecosystems in North America. In this study, we examined the ecological and evolutionary roles of endangered and threatened (e/t) grasses by establishing robust evolutionary relationships with other ...

Resolution among major placental mammal interordinal relationships with genome data imply that speciation influenced their earliest radiations

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background A number of the deeper divergences in the placental mammal tree are still inconclusively resolved despite extensive phylogenomic analyses.

The complete chloroplast genome of the Chinese banyan tree Ficus microcarpa

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022
Banyan tree or Ficus microcarpa is a large perennial plant with extraordinary aerial roots from the Moraceae family. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of F. microcarpa was assembled using PacBio data.

The Compositae Tree of Life in the age of phylogenomics [PDF]

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, 2017
AbstractComprising more than 25 000 species, the Sunflower Family (Compositae or Asteraceae) is the largest family of flowering plants. Many of its lineages have experienced recent and rapid radiations, and the family has a deep and widespread history of large‐scale gene duplications and polyploidy.

Phylogenomics-Based Reconstruction of Protozoan Species Tree

Evolutionary Bioinformatics, 2011
We have developed a semi-automatic methodology to reconstruct the phylogenetic species tree in Protozoa, integrating different phylogenetic algorithms and programs, and demonstrating the utility of a supermatrix approach to construct phylogenomics-based trees using 31 universal orthologs (UO).

The complete mitochondrial genome of Orthaga achatina (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Orthaga achatina Butler is an important pest of camphor trees in Asia. The complete mitochondrial genome of O. achatina was sequenced in this study, which was 15,150 bp in size and comprised of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal ...

SimPhy : Phylogenomic Simulation of Gene, Locus and Species Trees [PDF]

Systematic Biology, 2015
Abstract We present here a fast and flexible software – SimPhy – for the simulation of multiple gene families evolving under incomplete lineage sorting, gene duplication and loss, horizontal gene transfer –all three potentially leading to the species tree/gene tree discordance– and ...

A cnidarian phylogenomic tree fitted with hundreds of 18S leaves

Bulletin of the Society of Systematic Biologists, 2022
Abstract Cnidarians are critical members of aquatic communities and have been an experimental system for a diversity of research areas ranging from development to biomechanics to global change biology. Yet we still lack a well-resolved, taxonomically balanced, cnidarian tree of life to place this research in appropriate phylogenetic ...
