Arthropod Phylogenetics in Light of Three Novel Millipede (Myriapoda: Diplopoda) Mitochondrial Genomes with Comments on the Appropriateness of Mitochondrial Genome Sequence Data for Inferring Deep Level Relationships
Brewer, Michael S.; Swafford, Lynn; Spruill, Chad L.; Bond, Jason E. (2013)Background Arthropods are the most diverse group of eukaryotic organisms, but their phylogenetic relationships are poorly understood. Herein, we describe three mitochondrial genomes representing orders of millipedes for ... -

A biogeographical profile of the sand cockroach Arenivaga floridensis and its bearing on origin hypotheses for Florida scrub biota
Lamb, Trip; Justice, Teresa C.; Brewer, Michael S.; Moler, Paul E.; Hopkins, Heidi; Bond, Jason E. (2017-12-11)Florida scrub is a xeric ecosystem associated with the peninsula’s sand ridges, whose intermittent Pliocene–Pleistocene isolation is considered key to scrub endemism. One scrub origin hypothesis posits endemics were ... -
Brain transcriptome of the violet-eared waxbill and recent evolution in the songbird genome
Balakrishnan, Christopher N.; Chapus, Charles; Brewer, Michael S.; Clayton, David F. (2013-09)Songbirds are important models for the study of social behaviour and communication. To complement the recent genome sequencing of the domesticated zebra finch, we sequenced the brain transcriptome of a closely related ... -

Co-occurrence of ecologically similar species of Hawaiian spiders reveals critical early phase of adaptive radiation
Cotoras, Darko D.; Bi, Ke; Brewer, Michael S.; Lindberg, David R.; Prost, Stefan; Gillespie, Rosemary G. (2018-06-19)Background: The processes through which populations originate and diversify ecologically in the initial stages of adaptive radiation are little understood because we lack information on critical steps of early divergence. ... -

DNA methylation analyses identify an intronic ZDHHC6 locus associated with time to recurrent stroke in the Vitamin Intervention for Stroke Prevention (VISP) clinical trial
Davis Armstrong, Nicole M.; Chen, Wei-Min; Hsu, Fang-Chi; Brewer, Michael S.; Cullell, Natalia; Fernández-Cadenas, Israel; Williams, Stephen R.; Sale, Michèle M.; Worrall, Bradford B.; Keene, Keith L. (2021-07-12)Aberrant DNA methylation profiles have been implicated in numerous cardiovascular diseases; however, few studies have investigated how these epigenetic modifications contribute to stroke recurrence. The aim of this study ... -
