Using termite and cockroach genomes, researchers built phylogenetic trees from transposons, paving a new way to differentiate difficult evolutionary lineages.

A new computational tool improves the analysis of genetic data, making it easier and faster to study the evolutionary relationships between species. A new computational tool improves the analysis of ...

The reconstruction of phylogenies from DNA or protein sequences is a major task of computational evolutionary biology. Common phenomena, notably variations in mutation rates across genomes and ...

Aim Phylogenetic trees provide a framework for understanding the evolution of features (properties, characters or traits) of species, where closely related species share many common or similar ...

The new model focuses on phylogenetic diversity, which is very different from counting species, today's standard measure of biodiversity. The same number of species (three blue circles) can have a ...

Phylogenetic analysis explores the evolutionary relationships between organisms and is a vital foundation for microbial studies. The development of reliable phylogenetic trees is an important step in ...

Biologists will be able to reconstruct the process of evolution, determine relationships between species and build phylogenetic trees with greater accuracy thanks to a new method for identifying ...

As of June 16, 2022, there were 10,594,265 sequences displayed in the UShER COVID-19 phylogenetic tree. 10 million sequences of COVID-19’s genomic code have now been organized into a phylogenetic tree ...

You have probably heard of Charles Darwin. If you haven’t, you might have heard of his book, titled On The Origin Of Species. It was published in 1859 and led to Darwin becoming one of the early ...
