A transcriptome constructed from short-read RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is an easily
attainable proxy catalog of protein-coding genes when genome assembly is unnecessary …

Due to the interconnectedness of aquatic ecosystems through the highly effective marine
and atmospheric transport routes, all aquatic ecosystems are potentially vulnerable to …

The availability of multiple sequenced genomes from a single species made it possible to
explore intra-and inter-specific genomic comparisons at higher resolution and build clade …

Accurate determination of the evolutionary relationships between genes is a foundational
challenge in biology. Homology—evolutionary relatedness—is in many cases readily …

Indices of morphological disparity seek to summarise the highly multivariate morphological
variation across groups of species within clades, time bins or other groups. Morphological …

Resolving the relationships of animals (Metazoa) is crucial to our understanding of the origin
of key traits such as muscles, guts, and nerves. However, a broadly accepted metazoan …

Abstract Single-cell RNA-Sequencing (scRNA-Seq) has improved our understanding of
individual cell types in the human placenta. However, placental scRNA-Seq data is not …

The Animal Kingdom is an astonishingly diverse group. Together with plants and fungi is
one of the three major lineages of multicellular eukaryotes. Due to anthropocentrism and/or …

Background It is generally accepted that most evolutionary transformations at the phenotype
level are associated either with rearrangements of genomic regulatory elements, which …

Whilst substantial research effort has been placed on understanding the interactions of plant
proteins with their molecular partners, relatively few studies in plants-by contrast to work in …
