This may be the reason why biologists have only in the last few decades come to develop a rigorous understanding of phylogenetic trees. This understanding allows present-day researchers to use ...

What do phylogenetic trees illustrate? These diagrams don't just organize knowledge of biodiversity - they also show us that living species are the summation of their evolutionary history.

As of June 16, 2022, there were 10,594,265 sequences displayed in the UShER COVID-19 phylogenetic tree. 10 million sequences of COVID-19’s genomic code have now been organized into a phylogenetic tree ...

The tool, called PsiPartition, improves both the computational efficiency of the data analysis and the accuracy of the phylogenetic trees that visualize these relationships. The novel method was ...

Creating a family tree that dates back more than 400 million years and details the evolution of the most diverse group of animals on the planet is no easy feat, but one ambitious group of ...

Scientists have published the largest nematode phylogenetic tree up until now. It contains over 1,200 species and is entirely based on the analysis of DNA sequence data. Scientists from Wageningen ...

The resulting phylogenetic estimate offers novel insights into the rapid radiation of modern birds and provides a taxon-rich backbone tree for future comparative studies.” By updating the family ...
