The mitochondrial (mt) genome is, to date, the most extensively studied genomic system in
insects, outnumbering nuclear genomes tenfold and representing all orders versus very few …

Abstract 'Mitochondrial metagenomics'(MMG) is a methodology for shotgun sequencing of
total DNA from specimen mixtures and subsequent bioinformatic extraction of mitochondrial …

Across a variety of Mendelian disorders,∼ 50–75% of patients do not receive a genetic
diagnosis by exome sequencing indicating disease-causing variants in non-coding regions …

Virtually all empirical ecological studies require species identification during data collection.
DNA metabarcoding refers to the automated identification of multiple species from a single …

Background The complete sequences of chloroplast genomes provide wealthy information
regarding the evolutionary history of species. With the advance of next-generation …

Background Microbial inhabitants of soils are important to ecosystem and planetary
functions, yet there are large gaps in our knowledge of their diversity and ecology. The …

The advent in high-throughput-sequencing (HTS) technologies has revolutionized
conventional biodiversity research by enabling parallel capture of DNA sequences …

Over the past decade the mitochondrial (mt) genome has become the most widely used
genomic resource available for systematic entomology. While the availability of other types …

The species representation of public databases is growing rapidly and permits increasingly
detailed phylogenetic inferences. We present a supermatrix based on all gene sequences of …

Cerambycidae (longhorn beetles) and related families in the superfamily Chrysomeloidea
