DOI: 10.1007/s10709-017-9978-6
Abstract: Coraciiformes comprises 209 species belonging to ten families with significant divergence on external morphologies and life styles. The phylogenetic placement of Coraciiformes was still in debate. Here, we determined the complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mollus/eyx031
Abstract: Rhodopemorphs are small, interstitial or psammobiotic heterobranch slugs, which have been troubling to place phylogenetically. Their small size and habit of living in or among sediment have led to a correlated reduction and simplification of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/msystems.00021-18
Abstract: The move from OTU-based to sOTU-based analysis, while providing additional resolution, also introduces computational challenges. We demonstrate that one popular method of dealing with sOTUs (building a de novo tree from the short sequences) can… read more here.
