Fish environmental DNA (eDNA) studies have made substantial progress during the past
decade, and significant advances in monitoring fishes have been gained by taking …

Background Seafood fraud involves mislabeling and false claims. To avoid this deceptive
practice, authentication techniques, including DNA-based methods, have been developed …

Mitofish is a database of fish mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) that includes powerful
and precise de novo annotations for mitogenome sequences. Fish occupy an important …

Abstract Background The megadiverse Neotropical freshwater ichthyofauna is the richest in
the world with approximately 6,000 recognized species. Interestingly, they are distributed …

Accurate assessments of fish species diversity and community composition are essential for
understanding fish ecology and conservation management. Environmental DNA (eDNA) …

The origins and the divergence times of the most basal lineages within primates have been
difficult to resolve mainly due to the incomplete sampling of early fossil taxa. The main …

A recent preliminary study using complete mitochondrial DNA sequences from 48 species of
teleosts has suggested that higher teleostean phylogenies should be reinvestigated on the …

Prompt and accurate methods for assessing the species composition of given areas are
indispensable in addressing the rapid loss of biodiversity. Here, we propose a method for …

For many genes, ray-finned fish (Actinopterygii) have two paralogous copies, where only
one ortholog is present in tetrapods. The discovery of an additional, almost-complete set of …

Although adequate resolution of higher-level relationships of organisms apparently requires
longer DNA sequences than those currently being analyzed, limitations of time and …
