Does the field of evolution differ from other sciences? The author, a reviewer for a major medical journal, scrutinized hundreds of scientific references in evolutionary literature, adopting the same standards used for studies submitted for medical publication. The data show that there are two types of evolution, microevolution and macroevolution, with a clear boundary between them based upon the presence and absence of empirical evidence, respectively. The surprising results show that there is a universal disconnect between the data and the conclusions that claim to show the larger changes of macroevolution. The author reveals patterns of deviations from standard scientific methods in these...

Sequence analyses of numerous fungal genomes over the past two decades have provided us with extensive insights into the phylogenetic relationships of fungi and the distribution of genes and their inferred functions, across the fungal kingdom. It is now possible to answer questions about the origin of the fungal kingdom and fungal evolution with an analytical precision that was not possible before. This fully revised and updated 2nd edition of The Mycota, Vol. 14, addresses major aspects of fungal evolution. The book is divided into four sections covering the following main topics: • Evolutionary roots of fungi • Evolution of pathogenic strategies • Evolution of mutualistic interaction...
This volume explores the latest methods used by researchers to study different trypanosomatid parasites. These methods cover numerous disciplines, from organismal biology to molecular mechanism. The chapters in this book cover topics such as high-throughput sequencing; next-generation analysis of trypanosomatid genome stability and instability; DNA repair in cell extracts; ribosome profiling; and the use of CRISPR/Cas9 technology for gene editing. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Cutting-edge and practical, Trypanosomatids: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for any researcher working with trypanosomatids and trypanosomatid-borne diseases. Chapters 14, 15, 16, 23, 24, 30, and 48 are open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.
