Mitochondrial DNA as a marker of molecular diversity: a reappraisal
Over the last three decades, mitochondrial DNA has been the most popular marker of
molecular diversity, for a combination of technical ease‐of‐use considerations, and …

A review of long‐branch attraction
J Bergsten - Cladistics, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
The history of long‐branch attraction, and in particular methods suggested to detect and
avoid the artifact to date, is reviewed. Methods suggested to avoid LBA‐artifacts include …

A simple and robust statistical test for detecting the presence of recombination
Recombination is a powerful evolutionary force that merges historically distinct genotypes.
But the extent of recombination within many organisms is unknown, and even determining …

An exact nonparametric method for inferring mosaic structure in sequence triplets
Statistical tests for detecting mosaic structure or recombination among nucleotide
sequences usually rely on identifying a pattern or a signal that would be unlikely to appear …

The genomic basis of parasitism in the Strongyloides clade of nematodes
Soil-transmitted nematodes, including the Strongyloides genus, cause one of the most
prevalent neglected tropical diseases. Here we compare the genomes of four Strongyloides …

Evidence of selection upon genomic GC-content in bacteria
The genomic GC-content of bacteria varies dramatically, from less than 20% to more than
70%. This variation is generally ascribed to differences in the pattern of mutation between …

Between two extremes: mitochondrial DNA is neither the panacea nor the nemesis of phylogenetic and taxonomic inference
D Rubinoff, BS Holland - Systematic biology, 2005 - academic.oup.com
Recently, the role of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences in taxonomy and phylogenetic
inference has become contentious, and two extreme viewpoints have emerged, although, as …

A genomic perspective on the shortcomings of mitochondrial DNA for “barcoding” identification
Approximately 600-bp sequences of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been designated as
“DNA barcodes” and have become one of the most contentious and animated issues in the …

Evolution and inheritance of animal mitochondrial DNA: rules and exceptions
ED Ladoukakis, E Zouros - Journal of Biological Research-Thessaloniki, 2017 - Springer
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been studied intensely for “its own” merit. Its role for the
function of the cell and the organism remains a fertile field, its origin and evolution is an …

Ultrasequencing of the meiofaunal biosphere: practice, pitfalls and promises
Biodiversity assessment is the key to understanding the relationship between biodiversity
and ecosystem functioning, but there is a well‐acknowledged biodiversity identification gap …
