6 unusual facts about Genetic analysis


Crocidura sapaensis

Crocidura sapaensis is very similar in appearance to the Hainan Island shrew (Crocidura wuchihensis) and it was only recognised as a separate species in 2013 after molecular analysis.

Incarvillea

Genetic analysis supports the division of the genus into five clades: the subgenus Niedzwedzkia, the subgenus Amphicome, the subgenus Incarvillea, the subgenus Pteroscleris, and the species I.

Lophosoria quadripinnata

Genetic analysis has placed the species unequivocally in the Dicksoniaceae family, but the story of its taxonomic placement is long.

Streptanthus vernalis

Genetic analysis indicates that the species is distinct from other Streptanthus and is most closely related to Streptanthus morrisonii, which it resembles.

Terrier

Genetic analysis shows that most terriers are in the "modern/hunting" genetic cluster of dog breeds developed from the same pool of ancestors in Europe in the 19th century.

Zeltnera

Genetic analysis revealed that Centaurium was polyphyletic, made up of plants that could be grouped into four clades.

Azure-winged Magpie

Recent genetic analysis has shown that the Azure-winged Magpie and the Iberian Magpie are distinct at species level.

Mespilus canescens

It has been shown by genetic analysis to be closely related to the common medlar Mespilus germanica, which was previously the only known species in the genus.
