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 ...

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

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

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Humans' increasingly large footprint across the planet is forcing plants & animals to adapt and is affecting some species' evolutionary path.

New research headed by scientists at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) has demonstrated how the three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary ...
