Escherichia coli, including the closely related genus Shigella, is a highly diverse species in terms of genome structure. Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) microarray analysis was used to compare the gene content of E. coli K-12 with the gene contents of pathogenic strains. Missing genes in a pathogen were detected on a microarray slide spotted with 4,071 open reading frames (ORFs) of W31...

Computational phylogeny attempts to use descriptions of various taxa to generate an evolutionary tree of life. When generating phylogenic trees using Bayesian methods, it is difficult for the researcher to determine the run time necessary in order to get a good sample from the target distribution. Less than adequate run times can miss important features, resulting in an inaccurate representatio...

background: p. atrosepticum is a commercially important pathogen. it causes blackleg in the field and soft rot of tubers after the harvest. this effect is due to secretion of depolymerases and other virulence factors by several mechanisms including t3ss objectives: the effect of bacterial t3ss on solanum tuberosum (s. tuberosum) varieties and its relationship with s. tuberosum resistance gene e...

In this study, genetic differences and phylogenic relationships among six Mugilidae species (Mugil cephalus, M. capito, Liza subviridis, L. saliens, L. aurata, Valamugil buchanani) were determined using PCR-sequencing. M. cephalus, L. subviridis, and V. buchanani from the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea, and L. aurata and L. saliens from the Caspian Sea were col-lected. Samples of an imported, Egypt...

Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) is one of the most popular distance-based methods to reconstruct an equidistant phylogenetic tree from a distance matrix computed alignment sequences. Since we use trees as gene for phylogenomic analyses under multi-species coalescent model and since input each in genome estimated via maximum likelihood estimators, it important conduct r...

in order to perform breeding programs and improve production of native chickens, preserving genetic diversity in different areas of iran is important due to the reduced available population. genome sequencing is considered the most functional approach to determine the phylogeny relation between close populations. the aim of the present study was the evaluation of the phylogeny and genetic nucle...

Molecular analyses of 16S rRNA gene cloning and sequencing methods were applied to identify microorganisms in environmental samples including, soil, seawater, and wastewater. The analyses revealed that the diversity of bacterial communities in the soil is highly complex and the soil contains bacteria which belong to the candidate phylogenic divisions (Rappė and Giovannoni, 2003). The candidate ...

Poaceae (formerly known as Gramineae) is often considered to be the most important of all plant families to human economies. From evolutionary point of view, wheat is a young polyploid and its genetic configuration is a classical example of cereals phylogenic relationship. The genetic diversity of the elite germplasm have been used by plant breeders for numerous reasons such as germplasm manage...
