Next-generation sequencing has triggered an explosion of available genomic and
transcriptomic resources in the plant sciences. Although genome and transcriptome …

Ancient whole-genome duplications (WGDs), also referred to as paleopolyploidizations,
have been reported in most evolutionary lineages. Their attributed role remains a major …

Trees represent the largest terrestrial carbon sink and a renewable source of ligno-cellulose.
There is significant scope for yield and quality improvement in these largely undomesticated …

Seagrasses colonized the sea on at least three independent occasions to form the basis of

The hermaphroditic nematode Pristionchus pacificus is an established model system for
comparative studies with Caenorhabditis elegans in developmental biology, ecology, and …

Many phylogenomic studies based on transcriptomes have been limited to “single-copy”
genes due to methodological challenges in homology and orthology inferences. Only a …

The Neoproterozoic Era records the transition from a largely bacterial to a predominantly
eukaryotic phototrophic world, creating the foundation for the complex benthic ecosystems …

Annelid disparity has resulted in morphological-based classifications that disagree with
phylogenies based on Sanger sequencing and phylogenomic analyses. However, the data …

Dinoflagellates produce a variety of toxic secondary metabolites that have a significant
impact on marine ecosystems and fisheries. Saxitoxin (STX), the cause of paralytic shellfish …
