Is It Scaly Anteater or Bat A Real Origin of The 2019-Novel CoV: A Probable Hypothesis? by Salar Ali, Taib Hama-Soor, Muhammed Babakir-Mina, Salvatore Dimonte, Francesco Greco

“…The phylogenetic trees analysis illustrated that 2019nCoV in all four proteins are very closely related with coronaviruses isolated from Pangolin (scaly anteater) and Bat-SARS-like-coronavirses because all of them are clustered in the same clade. Whereas, the 2019nCoV is less closely related to coronavirses isolated from Rousettus bat (fruit bat) and MERS coronaviruses isolated from camel because they are gathered in the same clade only in two of the four studied proteins, nucleocapsid (N) and spike (S). …”

Repurposing Drugs for Synergistic Combination Therapies to Counteract Monkeypox Virus Tecovirimat Resistance by Haydar Witwit, Beatrice Cubitt, Roaa Khafaji, Esteban M. Castro, Miguel Goicoechea, Maria M. Lorenzo, Rafael Blasco, Luis Martinez-Sobrido, Juan C. de la Torre

“…The ongoing monkeypox (mpox) disease outbreak has spread to multiple countries in Central Africa and evidence indicates it is driven by a more virulent clade I monkeypox virus (MPXV) strain than the clade II strain associated with the 2022 global mpox outbreak, which led the WHO to declare this mpox outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. …”

Cadophora species from marine glaciers in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau: an example of unsuspected hidden biodiversity by Bingqian Zhang, Xiaoguang Li, Guojie Li, Qi-Ming Wang, Manman Wang

“…All members are clustered into two main clades: one clade mainly includes most of the Cadophora species which have phialidic conidiogenesis and we refer to as ‘Cadophora s. str.’; the remaining Cadophora species have multiform conidiogenesis and are clustered in the second clade, with members of other genera in Ploettnerulaceae interspersed among the subclades. …”

Mitochondrial genome insights into the phylogenetics and biogeographic evolution of snow trout (Cyprinidae, Schizothorax) in the Tien Shan Mountains by Akbarjon Rozimov, Yufan Wang, Min Wang, Ming Zou, Jobir Sobirov, Erkin Karimov, Bakhtiyor Kholmatov, Jörg Freyhof, Sirojiddin Namozov, Chongnv Wang, Xinxin Li, Baocheng Guo

“…Our phylogenetic analyses suggest six snow trout from the Tien Shan Mountains region were divided into two distinct clades: clade I comprises S. fedtschenkoi, and Schizothorax sp., and clade II includes S. eurystomus, S. biddulphi, S. pseudoaksaiensis, and S. argentatus. …”

Museomics of Carabus giant ground beetles shows an Oligocene origin and in situ alpine diversification by Pauli, Marie T., Gauthier, Jérémy, Labédan, Marjorie, Blanc, Mickael, Bilat, Julia, Toussaint, Emmanuel F. A.

“…Using this technique at both the intra- and interspecific levels, we infer the most robust phylogeny to date for Arcifera, an ecologically and morphologically diverse clade of Carabus giant ground beetles. We successfully generated a genomic dataset of up to 1965 HyRAD-X loci for all described species, permitting inference of a robust dated phylogenomic tree for this clade. …”

Faecalibacterium prausnitzii regulates carbohydrate metabolic functions of the gut microbiome in C57BL/6 mice by Peiling Geng, Ni Zhao, Yufan Zhou, Reuben S. Harris, Yong Ge

“…Here, we isolated and characterized a novel F. prausnitzii strain (UT1) that belongs to the most prevalent but underappreciated phylogenetic clade in the global human population. Genome analysis showed that this butyrate-producing isolate carries multiple putative mobile genetic elements, a clade-specific defense system, and a range of carbohydrate catabolic enzymes. …”
