  1. 1. Phylogeny and topological incongruence in the Rubioideae (Rubiaceae)

    Författare :Olle Thureborn; Catarina Rydin; Sylvain G. Razafimandimbison; Niklas Wikström; Michael D. Pirie; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Anthospermeae; cytonuclear discordance; gene trees; incomplete lineage sorting; incongruence; mitochondrial genome; nuclear genome; phylogenomics; phylogeny; plastid genome; Rubiaceae; Rubioideae; species trees; Plant Systematics; växtsystematik;

    Sammanfattning : The work with this thesis has focused on evolutionary relationships in the Rubioideae, the most species-rich subfamily of the large and diverse coffee family (Rubiaceae). Despite considerable efforts during the last decades, uncertainty regarding several relationships in this group has remained, either as a result of unconvincing statistic support, incongruent results, or insufficient taxon sampling.

  3. 2. Expanding the Chlamydiae tree : Insights into genome diversity and evolution

    Författare :Jennah E. Dharamshi; Thijs J. G. Ettema; Alexander Probst; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PVC superphylum; Chlamydiae; chlamydia; intracellular; symbiosis; endosymbiont; pathogen; marine sediment; sponge microbiome; metagenomics; uncultured microbial diversity; phylogenomics; microbial evolution; eukaryote evolution; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Sammanfattning : Chlamydiae is a phylum of obligate intracellular bacteria. They have a conserved lifecycle and infect eukaryotic hosts, ranging from animals to amoeba. Chlamydiae includes pathogens, and is well-studied from a medical perspective. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Phylogenetic Support and Chloroplast Genome Evolution in Sileneae (Caryophyllaceae)

    Författare :Per Erixon; Bengt Oxelman; Sean Graham; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Biology; Phylogenetics; Bayesian inference; Bootstrapping; cpDNA; Sileneae; Interspecific chloroplast recombination; Hybridization; clpP; Positive selection; Extreme substitution rates; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : Evolutionary biology is dependent on accurate phylogenies. In this thesis two branch support methods, Bayesian posterior probablities and bootstrap frequencies, were evaluated with simulated data and empirical data from the chloroplast genome. LÄS MER

  5. 4. A forest dark : an evolutionary history of Norway spruce

    Författare :Alexis R. Sullivan; Xiao-Ru Wang; Nathaniel Street; María Rosario García-Gil; Bengt Oxelman; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phylogenetics; genome assembly; recombination; Picea; hybridization; mitogenome; Norway spruce; phylogeography; phylogenetic networks; plastome;

    Sammanfattning : Embedded within the relationships among species is a dense forest of gene trees, each with a potentially unique and discordant history. Such widespread genealogical heterogeneity is expected, but embracing this hierarchy of discordance while reconstructing the histories of populations and species remains a major challenge. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Evolutionary transitions across the tree of life : Phylogenomic case studies in environmental archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes

    Författare :Max Emil Schön; Thijs J. G. Ettema; Fabien Burki; David Moreira; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Evolutionary transitions; environmental sequencing; metagenomics; single-cell genomics; phylogenomics; haloarchaea; Hikarchaeia; Rickettsiales; Picozoa; plastid evolution; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Sammanfattning : Microbes form the majority of life on Earth, but have been systematically underrepresented in historical research. The sequencing revolutions of the last two decades have completely changed the way we can study microbial genomic information, giving us the means to probe ever deeper into their evolution. LÄS MER
