Extensive sampling sheds light on species-level diversity in Palearctic Placobdella (Annelida: Clitellata: Glossiphoniiformes)

Sebastian Kvist et al.

Summary: This study investigates the genetic diversity of the bloodfeeding leech genus Placobdella using molecular biology and DNA barcoding. The results suggest the presence of multiple new species based on the differences in mitochondrial and nuclear sequences. However, further research is needed to clarify the level of speciation.

mold, a novel software to compile accurate and reliable DNA diagnoses for taxonomic descriptions

Alexander Fedosov et al.

Summary: DNA data have great potential in taxonomy, but the robustness of DNA diagnoses has been a concern. This study developed a new program, mold, to identify diagnostic DNA features for taxa. Testing with various data sets showed that diagnostic DNA characters based on sampled genetic diversity are often unreliable. To address this, a new type of DNA diagnosis, redundant DNC (rDNC), was proposed to consider unsampled genetic diversity. Mold program demonstrated high efficiency and reliability in large DNA data sets, making it the only software that meets predefined criteria for DNA diagnoses.

Koichiro Tamura et al.

Summary: MEGA software, a mature tool for computational molecular evolution, has been enhanced with new additions for building timetrees of species, pathogens, and gene families using rapid relaxed-clock methods. These additions include methods for estimating divergence times, confidence intervals, and new options for tagging sequences with spatiotemporal sampling information. The enhancements aim to improve user experience, result quality, and the pace of biological discovery.
