.... -------- Eukaryotic pathogens have complicated and dynamic genomes. To facilitate analysis of copy number variations (CNV), single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) events in Candida albicans, the most common human fungal pathogen, we developed a pipeline for analyzing diverse genome-scale datasets from microarray, deep sequencing, and restriction site associated DNA sequence experiments for clinical and laboratory strains. The YMAP pipeline automatically illustrates genome-wide information in a single intuitive figure and is readily modified for the analysis of other categories of data and other pathogen species with small genomes.

Controversial ideas of Williamson, Margulis & others suggest speciation by hybridizing might be more common than originally thought. Taking this concept to the nth degree & assuming that indeed, speciation mostly occurs by hybridizing events, not the accumulation of mutations or genetic drift, here is a catalogueoflife2gedcom converter. It allows the tree of life to be displayed as a human genealogy tree with hybridizing events depicted as "marriages." The idea then is that mutation accrual & genetic drift are the determining factors for "species maturation," not speciation itself. ...
