DNA barcoding has transformed the fields of ecology, evolution, and conservation by
providing a rapid and effective tool for species identification. The growth of DNA barcodes as …

The past decade has seen a major breakthrough in our ability to easily and inexpensively
sequence genome‐scale data from diverse lineages. The development of high‐throughput …

Microorganisms mediate nutrient cycling in soils, and thus it is assumed that they largely
control responses of terrestrial ecosystems to anthropogenic nutrient inputs. Therefore, it is …

Background Although high-throughput sequencers (HTS) have largely displaced their
Sanger counterparts, the short read lengths and high error rates of most platforms constrain …

In the present study, we identified the fungal community, including yeasts, in the mycangium
of the ambrosia beetle, Xylosandrus crassiusculus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and …

CRISPR-Cas9 technology allows the creation of user-defined genomic modifications in cells
and whole organisms. However, quantifying editing rates in pools of cells or identifying …

Foods and beverages are nutrient-rich ecosystems in which most microorganisms are able
to grow. Moreover, several factors, such as physicochemical characteristics, storage …

Sequencing technologies have deeply changed our approach to the study of food microbial
communities. This review describes recent exploitations of high-throughput sequencing …

The capacity of beneficial microbes to compete for host infection—and the ability of hosts to
discriminate among them—introduces evolutionary conflict that is predicted to destabilize …

This study summarizes results of a DNA barcoding campaign on German Diptera, involving
analysis of 45,040 specimens. The resultant DNA barcode library includes records for 2,453 …
