Journal ArticleDOI
MAFFT: a novel method for rapid multiple sequence alignment based on fast Fourier transform
TL;DR: A simplified scoring system is proposed that performs well for reducing CPU time and increasing the accuracy of alignments even for sequences having large insertions or extensions as well as distantly related sequences of similar length.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular systematics of Volvocales (Chlorophyceae, Chlorophyta) based on exhaustive 18S rRNA phylogenetic analyses
TL;DR: An 18S rRNA gene phylogeny based on 449 volvocalean sequences collected using exhaustive BLAST searches of the GenBank database revealed 21 strongly supported primary clades within phylogenetically redefined Volvocales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin and evolution of the colonial volvocales (Chlorophyceae) as inferred from multiple, chloroplast gene sequences.
Hisayoshi Nozaki,Kazuharu Misawa,Tadashi Kajita,Masahiro Kato,Seiichi Nohara,Makoto M. Watanabe +5 more
TL;DR: Most of the evolution of the colonial Volvocales appears to constitute a gradual progression in colonial complexity and in types of sexual reproduction, as in the traditional volvocine lineage hypothesis, although reverse evolution must be considered for the origin of certain species of Pleodorina.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic positions of Glaucophyta, green plants (Archaeplastida) and Haptophyta (Chromalveolata) as deduced from slowly evolving nuclear genes.
Hisayoshi Nozaki,Shinichiro Maruyama,Motomichi Matsuzaki,Takashi Nakada,Syou Kato,Kazuharu Misawa +5 more
TL;DR: Three groups of Archaeplastida and Haptophyta are deduced on the basis of sequences of the multiple slowly evolving nuclear genes and the gaps or missing data are reduced and the bootstrap values supporting these phylogenetic relationships increased with the exclusion of long-branched OTUs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny of Primary Photosynthetic Eukaryotes as Deduced from Slowly Evolving Nuclear Genes
Hisayoshi Nozaki,Mineo Iseki,Masami Hasegawa,Kazuharu Misawa,Takashi Nakada,Narie Sasaki,Masakatsu Watanabe +6 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-analyses of the determinants of infectious disease and the immune response to these diseases and some of the mechanisms leading to disease and its consequences are described.
