Human‐associated microorganisms are ideal models to study the impact of environmental
changes on species evolution and adaptation because of their small genome, short …

Nuclear and organellar genomes can evolve at vastly different rates despite occupying the
same cell. In most bilaterian animals, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) evolves faster than …

The species tree paradigm that dominates current molecular systematic practice infers
species trees from collections of sequences under assumptions of the multispecies …

The budding yeast has been extensively studied for its physiological performance in
fermentative environments and, due to its remarkable plasticity, is used in numerous …

Species is the fundamental unit to quantify biodiversity. In recent years, the model yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has seen an increased number of studies related to its …

Introduction Eukaryotic life depends on the functional elements encoded by both the nuclear
genome and organellar genomes, such as those contained within the mitochondria. The …

Comparative genome analyses have suggested East Asia to be the cradle of the
domesticated microbe Brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), used in the food and …

The process of domestication has variable consequences on genome evolution leading to
different phenotypic signatures. Access to the complete genome sequences of a large …

Incongruent phylogenies have been widely observed between nuclear and plastid or
mitochondrial genomes in terrestrial plants and animals. However, few studies have …

Background Pleistocene climate fluctuations have strongly modified species genetic
diversity and distributions. The Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) has been recognized …
