When COVID-19 arrived, researchers tried to build evolutionary family trees—known as phylogenetic trees—of the virus. These ...

Phylogenetic analysis underpins modern evolutionary biology by constructing trees that illustrate the relationships among species and genes. Gene tree reconciliation extends these analyses by aligning ...

This article introduces the field of bioinformatics and its importance as a cornerstone of biological research, as well as ...

When species under a taxonomic umbrella have faced forks in the road, leading to extinction or adaptation, the path taken has been difficult to follow. Scientists now argue that long-used approaches ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Evolutionary relationships are represented by phylogenetic trees, and a phylogenetic analysis of gene sequences typically produces a ...

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 ...

Genomes are key to unlocking life's evolutionary history. The presence and absence of certain genetic sequences and mutations can give us clues to the ...

A new method from EMBL-EBI and collaborators offers fast, easy-to-interpret confidence scores for phylogenetic trees for pandemic preparedness ...
