• Acid preservation of cultivated brown algae Saccharina latissima and Alaria esculenta and characterization of extracted alginate and cellulose 

      Nøkling-Eide, Katharina; Tan, Fangchang; Wang, Shennan; Zhou, Qi; Gravdahl, Mina; Langeng, Anne-Mari; Bulone, Vincent; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund; Sletta, Håvard; Arlov, Øystein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Cultivated brown algae represent an important potential source of carbohydrate polymers for packaging and other biobased materials. However, their exploitation is currently limited by a short harvest season and a lack of ...

      Feng, Shaohong; Stiller, Josefin; Deng, Yuan; Armstrong, Joel; Fang, Qi; Reeve, Andrew Hart; Xie, Duo; Chen, Guangji; Guo, Chunxue; Faircloth, Brant C.; Petersen, Bent; Wang, Zongji; Zhou, Qi; Diekhans, Mark; Chen, Wanjun; Andreu-Sánchez, Sergio; Margaryan, Ashot; Howard, Jason Travis; Parent, Carole; Pacheco, George; Sinding, Mikkel-Holger S.; Puetz, Lara; Cavill, Emily; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Whole-genome sequencing projects are increasingly populating the tree of life and characterizing biodiversity1,2,3,4. Sparse taxon sampling has previously been proposed to confound phylogenetic inference5, and captures ...
    • Functional roles of Aves class-specific cis-regulatory elements on macroevolution of bird-specific features 

      Seki, Ryohei; Li, Caí; Fang, Qi; Hayashi, Shinichi; Egawa, Shiro; Hu, Jiang; Xu, Luohao; Pan, Hailin; Kondo, Mao; Sato, Tomohiko; Matsubara, Haruka; Kamiyama, Namiko; Kitajima, Keiichi; Saito, Daisuke; Liu, Yang; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Zhou, Qi; Xu, Xing; Shiroishi, Toshihiko; Irie, Naoki; Tamura, Koji; Zhang, Guojie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Unlike microevolutionary processes, little is known about the genetic basis of macroevolutionary processes. One of these magnificent examples is the transition from non-avian dinosaurs to birds that has created numerous ...
