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 ...

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

Bacterial DNA isolated from a 120-year-old preserved plant cutting helped reconstruct the history of Pierce’s disease in ...

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

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

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, according to a new study. It is the first time researchers use data from ...

“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 ...

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

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

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