ITS2 rRNA Gene Sequence–Structure Phylogeny of the Chytridiomycota (Opisthokonta, Fungi) by Yuveantheni Kalaiventhan, Kensuke Seto, Matthias Wolf

“…To improve the accuracy and robustness of Chytridiomycota phylogeny, in this study, we attempt, for the first, time to reconstruct an ITS2 sequence–structure phylogeny using the primary sequence and the secondary structure information simultaneously in inferring alignments and trees. Although currently only possible for a fraction of the available data, we show a well-supported ITS2 tree for selected organisms. …”

Sequencing and annotation of the complete mitochondrial genome of a threatened labeonine fish, by Mohammad Nazrul Islam, Shirin Sultana, Md. Jobaidul Alam

“…The complete mitochondrial genome was 16,597 bp in size, which formed a circular double-stranded DNA molecule containing a total of 37 mitochondrial genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes) with two non-coding regions, an origin of light strand replication (OL) and a displacement loop (D-loop), similar structure with other fishes of Teleostei. The phylogenetic tree demonstrated its close relationship with labeonine fishes. …”

Desdemona’s changing voices: from the “Willow Song” to the “Canzona del Salice” by Chantal Schütz

“…The Willow Song in Shakespeare’s Othello involves a complex intertwining of mimetic processes: a boy actor enacts the female Desdemona, who imitates a maid called Barbary singing an old ditty, while the original singer referred to herself as a singing (or sighing) lover sitting at the foot of a tree. The boy’s performance of Desdemona’s death left a lasting impression on early modern audiences, just as Barbary’s singing death did on the character of Desdemona – a detail which enables the dying Emilia to put a finishing touch on the mimetic process by comparing herself to Desdemona, and both of them to the swan, who only sings when she is about to die.The mimetic process was carried further in the 19th century, thanks to the operatic version written by Rossini in 1816. …”
