The functional content of the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) is highly diverse across
eukaryotes. Among land plants, our understanding of the variation in mitochondrial gene …

Mitochondria, inherited maternally, are energy metabolism organelles that generate most of
the chemical energy needed to power cellular various biochemical reactions. Deciphering …

Two enigmatic groups of morphologically simple parasites of invertebrates, the Dicyemida
(syn. Rhombozoa) and the Orthonectida, since the 19th century have been usually …

Diplonemids are highly abundant heterotrophic marine protists. Previous studies showed
that their strikingly bloated mitochondrial genome is unique because of systematic gene …

Abstract The Chinese medicinal fungi “Sanghuang” have been long recognized for their
significant and valued medicinal properties, as documented in ancient medical literature …

The family Nidulariaceae, consisting of five genera including Cyathus, is a unique group of
mushrooms commonly referred to as bird's nest fungi due to their striking resemblance to …

Genomics aims at unraveling the blueprint of life; however, DNA sequence alone does not
always reveal the proteins and structural RNAs encoded by the genome. The reason is that …

Because DNA metabarcoding typically employs sequence diversity among mitochondrial
amplicons to estimate species composition, nuclear mitochondrial pseudogenes (NUMTs) …

We report a novel nanoflagellate, Ophirina amphinema n. gen. n. sp., isolated from a lagoon
of the Solomon Islands. The flagellate displays 'typical excavate'morphological …

Abstract Eustigmatophyceae (Ochrophyta, Stramenopiles) is a small algal group with
species of the genus Nannochloropsis being its best studied representatives. Nuclear and …
