Using termite and cockroach genomes, researchers built phylogenetic trees from transposons, paving a new way to differentiate ...

In biology, phylogenetic trees represent the evolutionary history and diversification of species -- the ''family tree'' of Life. Phylogenetic trees not only describe the evolution of a group of ...

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 short ...

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 ...

How far back in evolutionary history does kissing go? Through phylogenetic analysis, an international team of scientists ...
