Concerted evolution, a slow process for ant satellite DNA: study of the satellite DNA in the Aphaenogaster genus (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)

TLDR
The accumulated data suggest that evolution of satellite DNA in ants follows the concerted evolution pattern but that this process is slow in relation with other organisms, probably due to the eusociality and haplodiploidy of these insects.

Satellite DNA: An Evolving Topic.

TL;DR: This paper reviews a series of hypotheses about the origin, spreading, and evolution of satellite DNA from a methodological, conceptual, and historical perspective and frames them in the context of chromosomal organization and evolution.

Eight Million Years of Satellite DNA Evolution in Grasshoppers of the Genus Schistocerca Illuminate the Ins and Outs of the Library Hypothesis

TL;DR: The library model was tested by analyzing three satDNAs in ten species of Schistocerca grasshoppers, finding that satDNA amplifications or contractions may influence the evolution of monomer consensus sequences and by chance playing a major role in driftlike dynamics.

Satellitome comparison of two oedipodine grasshoppers highlights the contingent nature of satellite DNA evolution

TL;DR: In this article , the authors compared the satellite DNA of two Oedipodine grasshoppers (Locusta migratoria and Oedaleus decorus) which shared their most recent common ancestor about 22.8 Ma ago.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative analysis of morabine grasshopper genomes reveals highly abundant transposable elements and rapidly proliferating satellite DNA repeats

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combined linked-read genomics with transcriptomics to assemble, characterize, and compare the structure of repetitive DNA sequences in four chromosomal races of the morabine grasshopper Vandiemenella viatica species complex and determine their contribution to genome evolution.

The neighbor-joining method: a new method for reconstructing phylogenetic trees.

TL;DR: The neighbor-joining method and Sattath and Tversky's method are shown to be generally better than the other methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees from evolutionary distance data.

MEGA6: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis Version 6.0

TL;DR: An advanced version of the Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis software, which currently contains facilities for building sequence alignments, inferring phylogenetic histories, and conducting molecular evolutionary analysis, is released, which enables the inference of timetrees, as it implements the RelTime method for estimating divergence times for all branching points in a phylogeny.

MrBayes 3: Bayesian phylogenetic inference under mixed models

TL;DR: MrBayes 3 performs Bayesian phylogenetic analysis combining information from different data partitions or subsets evolving under different stochastic evolutionary models to analyze heterogeneous data sets and explore a wide variety of structured models mixing partition-unique and shared parameters.

Molecular Evolutionary Genetics

Masatoshi Nei
TL;DR: Recent developments of statistical methods in molecular phylogenetics are reviewed and it is shown that the mathematical foundations of these methods are not well established, but computer simulations and empirical data indicate that currently used methods produce reasonably good phylogenetic trees when a sufficiently large number of nucleotides or amino acids are used.

DnaSP v5

TL;DR: Version 5 implements a number of new features and analytical methods allowing extensive DNA polymorphism analyses on large datasets, including visualizing sliding window results integrated with available genome annotations in the UCSC browser.
