The Cornell Lab of Ornithology today announced the release of a new online tool for studying biodiversity and the ...
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 ...
Read me first! -- Tutorial : estimate a tree! -- Acquiring -- Aligning the sequences -- 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 ...
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 ...
Birds are the only dinosaur lineage that survived until today. About 66 million years ago at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary, a mass extinction event destroyed all non-avian dinosaurs, ...
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 ...
In 2014 the Science journal featured an article on the bird tree of life, mentioning the essential role of algorithms and supercomputers that enable modern research in evolutionary biology for all ...
The field of molecular epidemiology has brought a transformative perspective to the study of viral infections by integrating molecular data and phylogenetic ...
