A team from the University of Illinois has uncovered surprising evolutionary links between the genetic code and tiny protein ...

Humans have long viewed themselves as the pinnacle of evolution, labeling other species as “primitive” or using terms like ...

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

Just as bird watchers may use binoculars to add to their species lists, scientists interested in bird evolution may use computational tools to clarify avian lineages. Indeed, such tools have enabled ...

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

A research team from Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) has developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that significantly enhances the analysis capabilities of biological data by incorporating ...

Recent groundbreaking research into ape genomes has uncovered mysterious non-human DNA structures that challenge our ...

Aim Phylogenetic trees provide a framework for understanding the evolution of features (properties, characters or traits) of species, where closely related species share many common or similar ...

Introgressive hybridization and incomplete lineage sorting complicate the inference of phylogeny, and available species-tree methods do not simultaneously account for these processes. Both ...
