tRNA duplication was firstly discovered in four species and a new start codon was identified for Ophiuroidea. Eighteen phylogenetic trees based on mitochondrial genomes consistently supported two ...

"I would say that any modern biologist would, or should, say that birds are reptiles," Martin Stervander, an evolutionary ...

In a nutshell A newly discovered 69-million-year-old bird skull from Antarctica proves that modern birds were already diverse ...

Earth systems models are an important tool for studying complex processes occurring around the planet, such as those in and ...

Earth systems models are an important tool for studying complex processes occurring around the planet, such as those in and between the atmosphere and biosphere, and they help researchers and ...

Phylogenetic trees provide key information to elucidate basic aspects of functional genomics. This method, multistrap, offers a way to combine sequence and structural protein information that ...

Researchers at Hokkaido University have developed a new computational tool to help evolutionary biologists analyze complex genetic data to reconstruct the evolutionary history of species and the ...

These phylogenetic or evolutionary trees are traditionally built by comparing DNA or protein sequences and counting the similarities and differences to infer relationships. However, researchers ...

We discuss their diversity from a taxonomic and phylogenetic point of view, along with their geographic distribution. Other descriptive analyses focus on the extraction types, plant tissues and the ...

GToTree is a more structured implementation of a workflow I would put together everytime I wanted to make a large-scale phylogenomic tree. What do I mean by large-scale? Anything from a full-blown ...

The truffles — a type of fungi found across the globe and revered as rare culinary delicacies — have since been studied ...
