Most genera are represented by a single species but multiple representatives are included for highly diversified or potentially paraphyletic genera.
Multiple representatives were included for all large genera and species groups (Additional file 1).
After the MODIS images with the resolution of 250 m were identified to be the appropriate choice, multiple representative indicators including NDVI, fraction of vegetation cover, land surface temperature, albedo and soil moisture that relate to different aspects of desertification processes were uniformly retrieved by using their individual effective algorithms and downscaling.
The isolated strains included multiple representatives of 36 species from the LAB genera including Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Leuconostic, Pediococcus, Streptococcus, and Weissella.
We have attempted to alleviate some long branch effects by using a conservative inclusion set of unambiguously alignable sequence and by including multiple representatives of each lineage where possible, but we cannot confidently rule out long branch attraction.
In total 18 mitogenome sequences were generated for this study, including multiple representatives per species.
Sequencing of numerous genomes from all walks of life, including multiple representatives of diverse lineages of bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes, creates unprecedented opportunities for comparative-genomic studies [ 1- 3].
A second set of phylogenetic analyses was performed on the full dataset (35 mitogenomes), including multiple representatives per species, coding missing data as N and using data partitioning for each codon position, rRNA, and control region.
Of the 95 unique RH sequences found in C. elegans NHRs, 15 are found in our data, including multiple representatives of most of the populous RHs (our data contain ten of the 75 with RA-AA; 3 of the 19 with NG-KT; 2 of the 10 with NG-KG; and one of the seven with AA AA).
In the process of studying the phylogenetic relationships of Gruiformes [ 22]we had the opportunity to characterize and analyze more than 5 kb of DNA sequences from four loci (mitochondrial and three nuclear) from a variety of putative sister groups of Gruiformes, including multiple representatives of most families of Charadriiformes.
