Abstract Background The Styracaceae are a woody, dicotyledonous family containing 12 genera and an estimated 160 species. Recent studies have shown that Styrax Sinojackia monophyletic, Alniphyllum Bruinsmia cluster into clade with approximately 20-kb inversion in the Large Single-Copy (LSC) region. Halesia Pterostyrax not supported as while Melliodendron Changiostyrax always form sister clades....

The study of genetic variation and phylogenetic relationships is essential for the efficient selection of superior plant material and conducting introgression breeding programs. In Iran, despite the wide geographical distribution of grasses no report is available on the genetic diversity and relationships of cool season grass populations. In this study amplified fragment length polymorphism (AF...

Social media have enjoyed a rapidly increasing adoption among users in recent years. Millions of users execute billions of actions (in form of tweets, messages, replies, likes, etc.) every day. The massive amount of social interactions online has contributed to the proliferation of social advertising. Alongside the interest in online and social advertising, Twitter has introduced several advert...

A variety of genes and analytical methods have been applied to the study of phylogenetic relationships within the genus Bartonella, but so far the results have been inconsistent. While previous studies analysed single protein-encoding genes, we have analysed an alignment containing the sequences of three important phylogenetic markers, RNase P RNA, 16S rRNA and 23S rRNA, merged by catenation, t...
