The first animal mitochondrial genomes to be sequenced were of several vertebrates and
model organisms, and the consistency of genomic features found has led to a 'textbook …

GetOrganelle is a state-of-the-art toolkit to accurately assemble organelle genomes from
whole genome sequencing data. It recruits organelle-associated reads using a modified …

Whole-genome sequencing projects are increasingly populating the tree of life and
characterizing biodiversity,,–. Sparse taxon sampling has previously been proposed to …

Pacific Ocean rockfishes (genus Sebastes) exhibit extreme variation in life span, with some
species being among the most long-lived extant vertebrates. We de novo assembled the …

The past decade has seen the availability of insect genomic data explode, with
mitochondrial (mt) genome data seeing the greatest growth. The widespread adoption of …

Background: Chloroplast genes and genomes are the most important genomic data for plant
phylogeny and DNA barcoding. Since the rapid development of high throughput sequencing …

The formation and consequences of polyploidization in animals with clonal reproduction
remain largely unknown. Clade I root-knot nematodes (RKNs), characterized by …

Cerambycidae (longhorn beetles) and related families in the superfamily Chrysomeloidea
are important components of forest ecosystems and play a key role in nutrient cycling and …

Species is the fundamental taxonomic unit in biology and its delimitation has implications for
conservation. In giraffe (Giraffa spp.), multiple taxonomic classifications have been proposed …

Automatic mitochondria segmentation enjoys great popularity with the development of deep
learning. However, existing methods rely heavily on the labor-intensive manual gathering by …
