Whole-genome microsynteny-based phylogeny of angiosperms

Whole-genome prokaryotic phylogeny

Current understanding of the phylogeny of prokaryotes is based on the comparison of the highly conserved small ssu-rRNA subunit and similar regions. Although such molecules have proved to be very useful phylogenetic markers, mutational saturation is a problem, due to their restricted lengths. Now, a growing number of complete prokaryotic genomes are available. This paper addresses the problem o...

Whole-genome-based phylogeny and divergence of the genus Brucella.

Brucellae are worldwide bacterial pathogens of livestock and wildlife, but phylogenetic reconstructions have been challenging due to limited genetic diversity. We assessed the taxonomic and evolutionary relationships of five Brucella species-Brucella abortus, B. melitensis, B. suis, B. canis, and B. ovis-using whole-genome comparisons. We developed a phylogeny using single nucleotide polymorphi...

Whole Genome Phylogeny via Complete Composition Vectors

The availability of complete genomic sequences allows us to infer the evolutionary footprints between species in a global strategy. However, the length of these genomic sequences poses a challenge on computational efficiency and optimality of information representation in phylogenetic analyses. In this paper, a new method called complete composition vector (CCV) is described to infer evolutiona...

Molecular phylogeny of three desert truffles from Iran based on ribosomal genome

The ITS region including the 5.8S gene of rDNA of three desert truffle species were amplified using ITS4 and ITS1 primers. The ITS sequences were compared to those of other related authentic sequences obtained from GenBank. Among 12 specimens studied, seven isolates corresponded to Terfezia claveryi reported by other authors. Iranian T. claveryi specimens had an average similarity of 99.4% (ran...
