Multiple Displacement Amplification Facilitates SMRT Sequencing of Microscopic Animals and the Genome of the Gastrotrich Lepidodermella squamata (Dujardin 1841). [PDF]
Genome Biol EvolBackground Obtaining adequate DNA for long-read genome sequencing remains a roadblock to producing contiguous genomes from small-bodied organisms. Multiple displacement amplification (MDA) leverages Phi29 DNA polymerase to produce micrograms of DNA from ...

Development of New Chloroplast Microsatellites for <i>Pinus gerardiana</i> and their Application in Genetic Diversity Analyses. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study developed novel chloroplast DNA microsatellite markers (cpSSRs) to assess genetic diversity, population structure, and pollen dispersal in Chilgoza pine (Pinus gerardiana) from Gardiz, Afghanistan. We identified 32 unique haplotypes and observed high genetic diversity, weak family structure, and no differentiation between tree age cohorts ...

An early Eocene pan-gekkotan from France could represent an extra squamate group that survived the K/Pg extinction [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2023 In this paper we describe a new lizard from the early Eocene of the Cos locality in the Quercy region (near the Caylus village, Southwest France). The age of the Cos deposit has been proposed as the MP 10–11 interval, close to the transition of the ...

Ecomorphological diversification of squamates in the Cretaceous [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Squamates (lizards and snakes) are highly successful modern vertebrates, with over 10 000 species. Squamates have a long history, dating back to at least 240 million years ago (Ma), and showing increasing species richness in the Late Cretaceous (84 Ma ...
