Innovative Bayesian and parsimony phylogeny of dung beetles (coleoptera, scarabaeidae, scarabaeinae) enhanced by ontology-based partitioning of morphological characters.

PloS one
Scarabaeine dung beetles are the dominant dung feeding group of insects and are widely used as model organisms in conservation, ecology and developmental biology. Due to the conflicts among 13 recently published phylogenies dealing with the higher-le...

A novel representation of genomic sequences for taxonomic clustering and visualization by means of self-organizing maps.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Self-organizing maps (SOMs) are readily available bioinformatics methods for clustering and visualizing high-dimensional data, provided that such biological information is previously transformed to fixed-size, metric-based vectors. To inc...

Premolar Ecomorphology in Anthropoid Primates: A Machine Learning Approach.

Journal of morphology
Reconstructing the diets of extinct taxa is essential for understanding their ecologies and evolutionary histories, yet traditional methods and proxies such as molar morphology have limited resolution. The potential of premolar morphology as a dietar...

Ultraviolet in swallowtail butterflies: contrasted dorso-ventral evolution highlights a trade-off between natural and sexual selection on visual cues.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution
The evolutionary dynamics of color pattern diversification in animals is strongly influenced by visual interactions within and among species. While much attention has been given to color pattern variation in the human-visible range, perception outsid...

Genome Mining and Chemistry-Driven Discovery of a Cell Wall Lipopeptide Signature for subsp. Ancestral Lineage.

ACS infectious diseases
subsp. () causes Johne's disease (JD), a chronic infection responsible for considerable economic losses to dairy industries worldwide. Genetically clonal, has evolved into three distinct genetic lineages designated CII, for bovine strains, and SI ...

Integrating Deep Learning Derived Morphological Traits and Molecular Data for Total-Evidence Phylogenetics: Lessons from Digitized Collections.

Systematic biology
Deep learning has previously shown success in automatically generating morphological traits that carry a phylogenetic signal. In this paper, we explore combining molecular data with deep learning derived morphological traits from images of pinned ins...

Deciphering the biosynthetic potential of microbial genomes using a BGC language processing neural network model.

Nucleic acids research
Biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), key in synthesizing microbial secondary metabolites, are mostly hidden in microbial genomes and metagenomes. To unearth this vast potential, we present BGC-Prophet, a transformer-based language model for BGC predict...

Phyloformer: Fast, Accurate, and Versatile Phylogenetic Reconstruction with Deep Neural Networks.

Molecular biology and evolution
Phylogenetic inference aims at reconstructing the tree describing the evolution of a set of sequences descending from a common ancestor. The high computational cost of state-of-the-art maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods limits their us...

Using core genome and machine learning for serovar prediction in Salmonella enterica subspecies I strains.

FEMS microbiology letters
This study presents a dual investigation of Salmonella enterica subspecies I, focusing on serovar prediction and core genome characteristics. We utilized two large genomic datasets (panX and NCBI Pathogen Detection) to test machine learning methods f...

An efficient deep learning method for amino acid substitution model selection.

Journal of evolutionary biology
Amino acid substitution models play an important role in studying the evolutionary relationships among species from protein sequences. The amino acid substitution model consists of a large number of parameters; therefore, it is estimated from hundred...
