With its theoretical basis firmly established in molecular evolutionary and population genetics, the comparative DNA and protein sequence analysis plays a central role in reconstructing the evolutionary histories of spec...

The Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA) software has matured to contain a large collection of methods and tools of computational molecular evolution. Here, we describe new additions that make MEGA a more comp...

We present the latest version of the Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (Mega) software, which contains many sophisticated methods and tools for phylogenomics and phylomedicine. In this major upgrade, Mega has been...

Comparative analysis of molecular sequence data is essential for reconstructing the evolutionary histories of species and inferring the nature and extent of selective forces shaping the evolution of genes and species. He...

The Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (Mega) software implements many analytical methods and tools for phylogenomics and phylomedicine. Here, we report a transformation of Mega to enable cross-platform use on Micr...

We announce the release of the fourth version of MEGA software, which expands on the existing facilities for editing DNA sequence data from autosequencers, mining Web-databases, performing automatic and manual sequence a...

The Middle Pleistocene hominin fossil record is taxonomically diverse, with Homo sapiens, Homo neanderthalesis, Homo naledi, and Homo erectus, all existing at various times during this period. These species are generally...

Abstract A key factor contributing to the success of Darwin and Wallace’s theory of biological evolution by natural selection was its population-level perspective. This conceptual framework was not immediately adopted,...

The Modern Synthesis was not widely adopted by paleoanthropologists until the 1950s, but the perception has been that this event had important theoretical and methodological consequences for the study of hominid evolutio...

Abstract Background Poly(A) tails play crucial roles in regulating mRNA degradation and translation, yet their evolutionary dynamics remain largely unexplored. Results Here, we generate a comprehensive full-length RNA at...

Abstract Background An in-depth analysis was conducted on the mitochondrial genomes of three newly introduced Terebelliformia species (Amaeana sp., Terebellides sp.A and Terebellides sp.B), focusing on their genomic feat...

Abstract We conducted a Phenome-Wide Association Study (PheWAS) to investigate whether alleles previously shown to be associated with problem behaviors in Labrador Retrievers from the U.S. Transportation Security Adminis...

Abstract Introduction Thalassemia, a hereditary blood disorder characterized by abnormal hemoglobin production, is prevalent in malaria-endemic regions, particularly among individuals of African descent. This hemoglobino...

Dr. Carla Riva-Rossi has over 25 years’ experience studying the evolutionary ecology of anadromous fishes. She received an MS in biological sciences from the Facultad de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Nacional de la P...

The fragmentary early Homo fossil record represents a temporally expansive and complex lineage that is morphologically and geographically diverse. This large amount of variation, which also captures the transition period...

Abstract Among oilseeds crops, Brassica napus L., is of great importance globally. The economic yield and harvest efficiency are significantly limited by seed shattering, which represents a persistent agronomic constrain...

Abstract Background Tenacious glume a key trait limiting threshing efficiency in synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW), represents an ancestral defense mechanism inherited from wild progenitors. Despite its evolutionary import...

Abstract Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are important nutrients that play critical roles in sea urchin reproduction and early development. Strongylocentrotus intermedius, the only commercially cultured sea urchin sp...

Abstract Background Comparative studies of mitochondrial genomes can assist in determining evolutionary and phylogenetic relationships. In the Ceratocystidaceae fungal family, mitochondrial genomes from only two genera a...

Abstract Recent advances in protein structure prediction have opened new avenues for understanding the potential impact of genetic mutations and how they might affect protein structure. In this study, we analyzed the dis...
