Unexpected excess heterozygosity in a threatened, mycoheterotrophic, self-pollinating orchid

The paper investigates excess heterozygosity in the self-pollinating orchid Corallorhiza bentleyi, finding overdominance likely explains the phenomenon despite selfing and small population size.

Organellar data sets confirm overall angiosperm relationships if problematic RNA-edit sites are accounted for in mitochondrial genomes

The paper compares mitochondrial and plastid-based phylogenomic analyses in angiosperms, showing that removing RNA-edit sites from mitochondrial data improves congruence and supports key relationships.

Mitochondrial genome sequencing and analysis of the invasive Microstegium vimineum: a resource for systematics, invasion history, and management

The paper sequences and analyzes the mitochondrial genome of Microstegium vimineum to provide insights into its systematics, invasion history, and management.

ISSRseq: an extensible method for reduced representation sequencing

ISSRseq is a PCR-based method for reduced representation sequencing that generates SNP data with simple wet-lab skills and bioinformatics tools, demonstrating high repeatability and utility for non-model organisms.

Phylogenomics, biogeography, and evolution in the American palm genus Brahea

This study uses genome-scale data to infer phylogenetic relationships, ancestral growth forms, and biogeographic history in the American palm genus Brahea.
