| Nature Verified
Abstract Streptococcus pyogenes, or Group A Streptococcus (GAS), is a human pathogen responsible for a range of diseases, from mild infections to severe illnesses. Despite its significance in modern clinical settings, little is known about the pathogen’s evolutionary history or its presence in ancient human populations. Here, we present genomic evidence of S. pyogenes in the pre-Columbian Americas.

De novo assembly of complete circular mitochondrial genomes from 2,695 fungal species - Scientific Data

|
By Mohamed Sarhan, Frank Maixner
| Nature Verified
Abstract Fungal mitochondrial genomes are critical for understanding phylogenetics, evolution, and ecology of the Kingdom Fungi, yet they remain underrepresented in public databases. To address this, we developed a workflow to recover mitochondrial genomes from 12,902 fungal short read sequencing data housed in the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) records, assembling complete circular genomes from 2,695 species.
