Thus, we set out to clarify main frame of evolutionary relationships within the Musaceae, and to date the divergence of particular Musa sections, using a set of single or low copy nuclear gene sequences.
Comparative analyses of those complete cpDNA sequences not only highlight considerable differences at the organizational level, but also offer clarification of the evolutionary relationships among the main groups of algae and higher plants [3] [6].
The ingroup phylogeny has a star-like shape and contains little information on the evolutionary relationships among the main clades.
Comparative analyses of chloroplast genomes have proven very useful to clarify the evolutionary relationships among the main groups of green algae and land plants [ 10- 18].
In this study, we determined the phyletic occurrences and evolutionary relationships of four main families of miRNA processing proteins: Dicer, Argonaute, double-stranded RNA-binding proteins and Exportin-5.
By combining structural and sequence analysis, and phylogenetic inference, we have explored the evolutionary history of classes A, B, E, F, and G and demonstrate that their multidomain architectures reflect their phylogenetic relationships, suggesting that the main evolutionary steps in their divergence are likely to have arisen from the recruitment of different domains.
The origins and evolutionary relationships between the three main groups of amphibians are hotly debated.
The origins and evolutionary relationships between the three main groups of amphibians is a matter of debate.
The origins and evolutionary relationships between the three main groups of amphibians (gymnophionans, urodeles and anurans) is a matter of debate.
Evolutionary relationships of RHDV revealed three main lineages with significant phylogeographic structure.
