Measuring Evolutionary Isolation for Conservation. by David W Redding, Florent Mazel, Arne Ø Mooers

“…One new approach for increasing the diversity of species under consideration considers how many close relatives a species has in its evolutionary tree. At least eleven different ways to measure this characteristic on phylogenies for the purposes of setting species-specific priorities for conservation have been proposed. …”

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase U-box family in Physcomitrium patens by WU Xiaoai1, JIANG Shan1, CHEN Bo2, YAN Huiqing1*

“…The results were as follows:(1)A total of 31 U-box family members were identified in the whole genome of P. patens and were unevenly distributed on 14 chromosomes; their molecular weight sizes ranged from 37.75-117.49 kDa, and their isoelectric points ranged from 5.32-8.55.(2)The evolutionary tree showed that the U-box family members of P. patens were distributed in subfamilies I-IX, among which subfamily Ⅶ contained the largest number of members, with a total of 11 members accounting for about 36.67%. …”
