Metagenomic approaches are now commonly used in microbial ecology to study microbial
communities in more detail, including many strains that cannot be cultivated in the laboratory. …

We developed a set of universal PCR primers (MiFish-U/E) for metabarcoding environmental
DNA (eDNA) from fishes. Primers were designed using aligned whole mitochondrial …

Mitofish is a database of fish mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) that includes powerful
and precise de novo annotations for mitogenome sequences. Fish occupy an important …

The application of semantic technologies to the integration of biological data and the
interoperability of bioinformatics analysis and visualization tools has been the common theme of a …

Histones are the protein components of the nucleosome, which forms the basic architecture
of eukaryotic chromatin. Histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 are composed of two common …

Fish mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) data form a fundamental basis for revealing
vertebrate evolution and hydrosphere ecology. Here, we report recent functional updates of …

Terrestrial animals must have frequent contact with water to survive, implying that
environmental DNA ( eDNA ) originating from those animals should be detectable from places …

Environmental DNA (eDNA)‐based assessments of macro‐organisms have now become an
essential approach for biomonitoring. eDNA survey methods have a number of advantages …

A characteristic clinical feature of COVID-19 is the frequent incidence of microvascular
thrombosis. In fact, COVID-19 autopsy reports have shown widespread thrombotic …

The reconstruction of ancestral scenarios is widely used to study the evolution of characters
along phylogenetic trees. One commonly uses the marginal posterior probabilities of the …
