TL;DR: Comparisons of the Trifolium plastid genome with the Plant Repeat Database and searches for flanking inverted repeats suggest that the high incidence of dispersed repeats and rearrangements is not likely the result of transposition.

TL;DR: This paper aims to demonstrate the efforts towards in-situ applicability of EMMARM, which aims to provide real-time information about the response of the immune system to EMTs.

TL;DR: The phylogeny of raphid pennate diatoms was reconstructed and included, for the first time, members of all three canal raphid diatom lineages, and used the phylogeny to test specific hypotheses about the origin of the canal raphe.

TL;DR: Empirically demonstrated the value of combining phylogenetic information profiling, partitioned Bremer support and entropy analysis in examining the utility of various partitions in phylogenetic analysis and support theoretical arguments that the simplifying assumptions made in these methods are robust to "real-life" situations.

TL;DR: The completely sequenced plastid genomes for eight phylogenetically diverse diatoms are reported and show them to be variable in size, gene and foreign sequence content, and gene order.
