Several phylogenetic approaches have been developed to estimate species trees from collections of gene trees. However, maximum likelihood for estimating under the coalescent model are limited. Although a tree multispecies has already derived by Rannala and Yang, it can be shown that (MLE) (topology, branch lengths, population sizes) this formula does not exist. In paper, we develop pseudo-likelihood function obtain estimates (MPE) trees, with lengths in units. We show MPE is statistically...
The estimation of species trees (phylogenies) is one the most important problems in evolutionary biology, and recently, there has been greater appreciation need to estimate directly rather than using gene as a surrogate. A Bayesian method constructed under multispecies coalescent model can consistently but involves intensive computation, which hinder its application phylogenetic analysis large-scale genomic data. Many summary statistics-based approaches, such shallowest coalescences (SC)...
The unique anatomical features of turtles have raised unanswered questions about the origin their body plan. We generated and analyzed draft genomes soft-shell turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) green sea (Chelonia mydas); our results indicated close relationship to bird-crocodilian lineage, from which they split ∼267.9-248.3 million years ago (Upper Permian Triassic). also found extensive expansion olfactory receptor genes in these turtles. Embryonic gene expression analysis identified an...
The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens, the most destructive pest of rice, is a typical monophagous herbivore that feeds exclusively on rice sap, which migrates over long distances. Outbreaks it have re-occurred approximately every three years in Asia. It has also been used as model system for ecological studies and developing effective management. To better understand how sap-sucking arthropod adapted to its exclusive host selection provide insights improve control, we analyzed genomes...

Further...
Jung-Hyun Lee, Jong Bhak and their colleagues report the whole-genome sequencing de novo assembly of a male minke whale genome, as well genome sequences three additional whales, fin whale, bottlenose dolphin finless porpoise. Their comparative analysis across cetaceans provides insights into adaptation to an aquatic lifestyle. The shift from terrestrial life by whales was substantial evolutionary event. Here we Our genomic identified expansion in lineage gene families associated with...
The identification of genes that improve the salt tolerance crops is essential for effective utilization saline soils agriculture. Here, we use fine mapping in a soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) population derived from commercial cultivars Tiefeng 8 and 85-140 to identify GmSALT3 (salt tolerance-associated gene on chromosome 3), dominant associated with limiting accumulation sodium ions (Na+) shoots substantial enhancement soybean. encodes protein cation/H+ exchanger family localized...
Banana cultivars (Musa ssp.) are diploid, triploid and tetraploid hybrids derived from Musa acuminata balbisiana. We presented a high-quality draft genome assembly of M. balbisiana with 430 Mb (87%) assembled into 11 chromosomes. identified that the recent divergence (A-genome) (B-genome) occurred after lineage-specific whole-genome duplication, B-genome may be more sensitive to fractionation process compared A-genome. Homoeologous exchanges frequently between A- B-subgenomes in...
Significance The draft genome of Tibetan hulless barley provides a robust framework to better understand Poaceae evolution and substantial basis for functional genomics crop species with large genome. expansion stress-related gene families in implies that it could be considered as an invaluable resource aiding stress tolerance improvement Triticeae crops. Genome resequencing revealed extensive genetic diversity germplasm divergence sequenced genomes from other geographical regions....
Abstract Longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.), an important subtropical fruit in the family Sapindaceae, is grown more than 10 countries. edible drupe and a source of traditional medicine with polyphenol-rich traits. Tree size, alternate bearing, witches' broom disease still pose serious problems. To gain insights into genomic basis traits, draft genome sequence was assembled. The (about 471.88 Mb) Chinese cultivar, “Honghezi,” estimated to contain 31 007 genes 261.88 Mb repetitive sequences. No...
Significance Adzuki bean ( Vigna angularis ) is distinct in its high starch and low fat accumulation. However, the underlying genetic basis still not well understood. In this study, we generated a high-quality draft genome sequence of adzuki by using whole-genome shotgun sequencing strategy. By comparative genomic transcriptome analyses, demonstrated that significant difference content between soybean were caused transcriptional abundance rather than copy number variations genes related to...
Geese were domesticated over 6,000 years ago, making them one of the first poultry. are capable rapid growth, disease resistance, and high liver lipid storage capacity, can be easily fed coarse fodder. Here, we sequence analyze whole-genome an economically important goose breed in China compare it with that terrestrial bird species.A draft whole-goose genome was obtained by shotgun sequencing, 16,150 protein-coding genes predicted. Comparative genomics indicate significant differences occur...
Abstract Genome‐scale sequence data have become increasingly available in the phylogenetic studies for understanding evolutionary histories of species. However, it is challenging to develop probabilistic models account heterogeneity phylogenomic data. The multispecies coalescent model describes gene trees as independent random variables generated from a coalescence process occurring along lineages species tree. Since allows vary across genes, coalescent‐based methods been popularly used...

Here we report near-complete genome assembly A. cultivar JI7 cv.JI7) comprising 510 Megabases (Mb) genomic sequence containing 37,714 annotated protein-coding genes. Scaffolds covering 97.12% assembled were anchored eight chromosomes. Comparative evolutionary analyses revealed that...
Abstract Betula L. (birch) is a pioneer hardwood tree species with ecological, economic, and evolutionary importance in the Northern Hemisphere. We sequenced platyphylla genome assembled sequences into 14 chromosomes. The lacks evidence of recent whole-genome duplication has same paleoploidy level as Vitis vinifera Prunus mume. Phylogenetic analysis lignin pathway genes coupled tissue-specific expression patterns provided clues for understanding formation higher ratios syringyl to guaiacyl...
Abstract Background With more than 30,000 species, fish—including bony, jawless, and cartilaginous fish—are the largest vertebrate group, include some of earliest vertebrates. Despite their critical roles in many ecosystems human society, fish genomics lags behind work on birds mammals. This severely limits our understanding evolution hinders progress conservation sustainable utilization fish. Results Here, we announce Fish10K project, a portion Earth BioGenome Project aiming to sequence...
Fig pollinating wasps form obligate symbioses with their fig hosts. This mutualism arose approximately 75 million years ago. Unlike many other intimate symbioses, which involve vertical transmission of symbionts to host offspring, female fly great distances transfer horizontally between In contrast, male are wingless and cannot disperse. Symbionts that keep contact hosts often show genome reduction, but it is not clear if the wide dispersal will counteract this general tendency. We sequenced...
Soil salinity reduces soybean growth and yield. The recently identified GmSALT3 (Glycine max salt Tolerance-associated gene on chromosome 3) has the potential to improve yields in salinized conditions. Here we evaluate impact of performance under saline or non-saline Three sets near isogenic lines (NILs), with genetic similarity 95.6-99.3% between each pair NIL-T NIL-S, were generated from a cross two varieties 85-140 (salt-sensitive, S) Tiefeng 8 (salt-tolerant, T) by using marker-assisted...
