MEGA2 : Molecular evolutionary genetics analysis software
TLDR
MEGA2 vastly extends the capabilities of MEGA version 1 by facilitating analyses of large datasets, enabling creation and analyses of groups of sequences, and expanding the repertoire of statistical methods for molecular evolutionary studies.Abstract:
Summary: We have developed a new software package, Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis version 2 (MEGA2), for exploring and analyzing aligned DNA or protein sequences from an evolutionary perspective. MEGA2 vastly extends the capabilities of MEGA version 1 by: (1) facilitating analyses of large datasets; (2) enabling creation and analyses of groups of sequences; (3) enabling specification of domains and genes; (4) expanding the repertoire of statistical methods for molecular evolutionary studies; and (5) adding new modules for visual representation of input data and output results on the Microsoft Windows platform.

Molecular Epidemiology of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis Isolates Recovered from Wild Animal Species

TL;DR: The results of these analyses demonstrate that SSR analysis enables the genetic characterization of M. paratuber tuberculosis isolates from different host species and provide evidence for the host specificity of some M.Paratuberculosis strains as well as sharing of strains between wild and domesticated animal species.

TL;DR: The extraordinary predominance of genotype C2 in chronic Korean patients suggests that the clinical manifestations of Korean HBV chronic patients are likely to differ from those found in other Asian countries, especially in Japan and Taiwan, where genotypes B and C coexist.

Characterization and evidence of mobilization of the LEE pathogenicity island of rabbit‐specific strains of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli
TL;DR: It is shown that Int‐phe can mediate site‐specific integration of foreign DNA at the pheU tRNA locus of E. coli DH1, and possible mechanisms of mobilization and integration of the LEE PAI are indicated.

MEGA: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis software for microcomputers
TL;DR: In this program, various methods for estimating evolutionary distances from nucleotide and amino acid sequence data, three different methods of phylogenetic inference (UPGMA, neighbor-joining and maximum parsimony) and two statistical tests of topological differences are included.

Phylogenetic test of the molecular clock and linearized trees.
TL;DR: To estimate approximate divergence times of species or species groups with molecular data, a method of constructing a linearized tree under the assumption of a molecular clock is developed and used to analyze hominoid mitochondrial DNA and drosophilid Adh gene sequences.

Molecular Evolution — A Phylogenetic Approach.
TL;DR: The authors set themselves the tasks of showing how evolutionary information is written into gene sequences and describing the methods by which such information can be recovered and succeed, providing a wealth of examples and setting many of them in a historical perspective.
