Researchers will reconstruct the process of evolution, determine relationships between species and build phylogenetic trees with greater accuracy thanks to new method for identifying extremely ...

Phylogenetic tree inference is a critical component of many systematic and evolutionary studies. The majority of these studies are based on the two-step process of multiple sequence alignment followed ...

Methods for and applications of phylogenetic tree inference have proliferated in studies of cancer genomics. Tumour phylogeny methods have become important tools for making sense of the complexity ...

The tool, called PsiPartition, improves both the computational efficiency of the data analysis and the accuracy of the phylogenetic trees that visualize these relationships.

Haeckel created much of our current vocabulary in evolutionary biology, such as the term phylogeny, which is currently used to designate trees. Assuming that Haeckel gave the same meaning to this term ...

The new model focuses on phylogenetic diversity, which is very different from counting species, today's standard measure of biodiversity. The same number of species (three blue circles) can have a ...
