Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is an important pathogen of domestic and wild felids. Although serological tests suggest the presence of FIV in cats from Colombia, no molecular characterization has been reported. Here, we describe the near-complete genome of FIV subtype A from a Colombian domestic cat.

Somion occarium is a wood-decaying bracket fungus belonging to an order known to be rich in useful chemical compounds. Despite its widespread distribution, S. occarium has been assessed as endangered on at least one national Red List, presumably due to loss of old-growth forest habitat.

Transitions across ecological boundaries, such as those separating freshwater from the sea, are major drivers of phenotypic innovation and biodiversity. Despite their importance to evolutionary history, we know little about the mechanisms by which such transitions are accomplished. To help shed light on these mechanisms, we generated the first high-quality, near-complete assembly and annotation of the genome of the American shad (Alosa sapidissima), an ancestrally diadromous (migratory between salinities) fish in the order Clupeiformes of major cultural and historical significance.

Viromics studies are allowing us to understand not only the enormous diversity of the virosphere, but also the potential threat posed by the emerging viruses. Regarding the latter, the main concern lies in monitoring the presence of RNA viruses, but the zoonotic potential of some DNA viruses, on which we have focused in the present study, should also be highlighted. For this purpose, we analyzed 160 fecal samples from 14 species of small terrestrial mammals, 9 of them belonging to the order .

Peach-associated luteovirus (PaLV) belongs to the genus Luteovirus, family Tombusviridae. To date, PaLV has only been reported in peach (Prunus persica) and its presence detected in the Republic of Georgia (Wu et al., 2017), China (Zhou et al.

Groups of orthologous genes are commonly found together on the same chromosome over vast evolutionary distances. This extensive physical gene linkage, known as macrosynteny, is seen between bilaterian phyla as divergent as Chordata, Echinodermata, Mollusca, and Nemertea. Here, we report a unique pattern of genome evolution in Bryozoa, an understudied phylum of colonial invertebrates.
