(2014-04-18)The evolutionary relationships between organisms are represented as phylogenetic trees. These trees have important implications for understanding biodiversity, tracking disease, and designing medicine. Since the evolutionary ...

Genetic and Phylogenetic Studies of Toll-Like Receptor 5 (TLR5) in River Buffalo (Bubalus Bubalis) (2012-08-21)River buffalo are economically important to many countries and only recently has their genome been explored for the purpose of mapping genetic variation in traits of economic and biologic interest. The purpose of this ...

(2012-07-16)The tribe Leucophoropterini (Miridae: Phylinae) is a diverse assemblage of primarily Indo-Pacific and Australian bugs which are united by simple, small genitalia and a trend towards ant-mimetic body forms. Previous to this ...

(2012-10-19)Botryococcus braunii (Chlorophyta, Botryococcaceae) is a colony-forming green microalga that produces large amounts of liquid hydrocarbons, which can be converted into transportation fuels. While B. braunii has been well ...

(2017-12-12)Currently, there are roughly 170 species of clingfishes (family Gobiesocidae) divided between ten subfamilies in a “phenetic” classification scheme proposed over 60 years ago. Recently, an alternative classification scheme ...

(2010-10-12)We define the phylogenetic model of a trivalent graph as a generalization of a binary symmetric model of a trivalent phylogenetic tree. If the underlining graph is a tree, the model has a parametrization that can be expressed ...

(2012-02-14)The leafhopper genus Xyphon, included in the sharpshooters, is a widely distributed group of insects whose species are vectors for various plant diseases. Xyphon has historically contained up to 9 species. These species ...

(2016-08-23)Microbial extremophiles have the potential for a wide variety of biotechnological and industrial applications and yet extremophiles are underrepresented in whole genome sequencing efforts to date. The generation of whole ...

(2014-12-09)This work focuses on the taxonomy and systematics of parasitic wasps of the family Signiphoridae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea), a relatively small family of chalcidoid wasps, with 79 described valid species in 4 genera: ...
