TLDR
The taxonomy of canine Mollicutes is described, based on phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene and 16S/23S r RNA intergenic spacer (IGS) region sequences, and the two untyped Mycoplasma strains, HRC 689 and VJC 358, were found to be distinct from all known canine mycoplasmas and all published myCoplasma 16S sRNA gene sequences.
Abstract
The taxonomy of canine Mollicutes is described, based on phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene and 16S/23S rRNA intergenic spacer (IGS) region sequences. The nucleotide sequences of the 16S rRNA gene of two untyped mycoplasmas and the IGS region of 11 Mycoplasma species were determined and used for phylogenetic analysis. The two untyped Mycoplasma strains, HRC 689 and VJC 358, were found to be distinct from all known canine mycoplasmas and all published mycoplasma 16S rRNA gene sequences.

Characterization of a novel Mycoplasma cynos real-time PCR assay:

TL;DR: A new open-source real-time PCR (rtPCR) assay for M. cynos that performs well under standard rtPCR conditions and has high specificity, as confirmed by sequence confirmation on ISR PCR amplicons obtained from clinical specimens.

Molecular detection and seroprevalence of mycoplasmas in clinicaly healthy working dogs

TL;DR: In this study seroprevalence and prevalence of mycoplasmas in clinically healthy dogs were studied and dot-immunobinding assay (DIBA) was used as a serological test for the detection of specific antibodies to Mycoplasma cynos, MyCoplasma canis and My coplasma molare and consensus PCR for detection of genes for 16S rRNA or 16S/23S IGS region of my cplasmas was used.

Rapid and Sensitive Sequence Comparison with FASTP and FASTA.

TL;DR: FASTA and FASTP were designed to identify protein sequences that have descended from a common ancestor and they have proved very useful for this task, but it is not clear that NWS-based programs would be more successful in finding distantly related members of the G-protein-coupled receptor family.

Likelihood-mapping: A simple method to visualize phylogenetic content of a sequence alignment

TL;DR: A graphical method, likelihood-mapping, is introduced, to visualize the phylogenetic content of a set of aligned sequences, based on an analysis of the maximum likelihoods for the three fully resolved tree topologies that can be computed for four sequences.
