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 ...

Phylogenetic trees provide key information to elucidate basic aspects of functional genomics. This method, multistrap, offers a way to combine sequence and structural protein information that ...

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 ...

The area that is now Joshua Tree National Park wasn’t always a desert. During the Great Ice Age, also known as the Pleistocene Epoch, there were rivers and lakes as well as Columbian mammoths ...

Phylogenetic relationships were analyzed according to the 16S rDNA, COXI, and ITS-2 sequences. Phylogenetic trees were constructed in MEGA-X software with the neighbor-joining algorithm. Branch ...
