Tree performance is generally considered as the consequence of the interplay between ecological and evolutionary processes. However, the differential effect among species and the portion of those ...
New research headed by scientists at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) has demonstrated how the three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary ...
Progress and perspectives of the deep non-bilaterian phylogeny, with focus on sponges (Phylum Porifera) / Gert Wörheide, Tetyana Nosenko, Fabian Schreiber, and Burkhard Morgenstern -- Phylogenetics ...
Plant cells host a variety of organelles segregated into distinct functional groups. Among those organelles, the nucleus, ...
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 ...
Read me first! -- Tutorial : create a tree! -- Acquiring and aligning the sequences -- pt. 1. Major methods for estimating phylogenetic trees. Neighbor-joining trees -- Drawing phylogenetic trees -- ...
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 ...
