Species Diagnosis and DNA Taxonomy
The use of DNA has helped to improve and speed up species identification and delimitation. However, it also provides new challenges to taxonomists....
-
Delimiting Species with Single-Locus DNA Sequences
DNA sequences are increasingly used for large-scale biodiversity inventories. Because these genetic data avoid the time-consuming initial sorting of...

Genome Structure of Triticeae Species
This chapter describes characteristic features of the chromosomes and genomes of Triticeae species. Centromeres contain typical CENH3 nucleosomes,...
-
Protein-Coding Gene Families in Prokaryote Genome Comparisons
The identification of orthologous genes is relevant for comparative genomics, phylogenetic analysis, and functional annotation. There are many...
