What do phylogenetic trees illustrate? These diagrams don't just organize knowledge of biodiversity - they also show us that living species are the summation of their evolutionary history.

This may be the reason why biologists have only in the last few decades come to develop a rigorous understanding of phylogenetic trees. This understanding allows present-day researchers to use ...

The Evolution Lab contains two main parts: Build A Tree: Students build phylogenetic trees themed around the evidence of evolution, including fossils, biogeography, and similarities in DNA.

The three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary relationships in the tree of life, ...

“Understanding phylogenetic trees can be difficult, but we’re working to make it more accessible,” says principal investigator Chia Shen, director of Scientists’ Discovery Room (S ...

Researchers have innovatively merged protein structural data with genetic sequences to construct evolutionary trees, ...

Researchers at Hokkaido University have developed a new computational tool to help evolutionary biologists analyze complex genetic data to reconstruct the evolutionary history of species and the ...

Phylowave reveals evolutionary dynamics in pathogens, identifying fitness-linked lineages and mutations, essential for ...

According to a study published in the journal Nature Communications, the three-dimensional form of a protein can be utilized ...
