Gene tree and species tree reconciliation is a crucial area of study in evolutionary biology that seeks to understand the relationships between gene evolution and species evolution. This process ...

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

Forests flanking Brazil's rivers act as "highways" that have allowed tree species to move between the Amazon and Atlantic ...

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

In a new study involving whole-genome data, researchers present “CASTER,” a tool that uses arrangements in DNA sequences known as site patterns to infer “species trees,” which are diagrams that depict ...

The three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary relationships in the tree of life, according to a study in Nature Communications. It is the first time ...

To account for the numerous gaps in the fossil record, they treated the parts of the world where fossils have not been ...

Electrical engineers have developed a better way to perform the comparative analysis of entire genomes. This approach can be used to study relationships between different species across geological ...

Thus, the PsiPartition trees provide a different and possibly more accurate evolutionary reconstruction of these species. "Our tool will allow evolutionary biologists to study species more ...

Researchers say strategy will help understand the history of life, monitor the spread of pathogens or create new treatments for disease.
