Methods for and applications of phylogenetic tree inference have proliferated in studies of cancer genomics. Tumour phylogeny methods have become important tools for making sense of the complexity of ...

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

Max Telford translated the technical effort behind studying evolution into a relatable story for every reader in The Tree of Life: Solving Science’s Greatest Puzzle.

Phylogenetic regression is frequently used in macroevolutionary studies, and its statistical properties have been thoroughly investigated. By contrast, phylogenetic ANOVA has received relatively less ...

The gentians (Gentianaceae, Asteridae) form a morphologically and ecologically diverse group of plants with interesting phytochemical and medicinal properties. The family contains six tribes, but ...

Genomic sequencing can be used to work out the evolutionary relationships of different species, or groups of organisms. This is known as phylogenetics. Species with more similarity in their genomes ...
