The tree of life is uncovered by comparing DNA sequences between different species to identify changes (mutations) that accumulate over time like a molecular fossil record. Our understanding of ...

The Darwin Tree of Life project has an ambitious target of sequencing the DNA barcodes and full genomes of all 66,000+ described UK species. Our work is the UK’s contribution to the Earth Biogenome ...

As we sequence more and more and more diverse lineages, I think we’re going to find more and more cases. Now, Rokas says, he thinks that DNA is not only moving around the tree of life, but it’s moving ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity ... public database of fully sequenced genomes from all branches of the tree of life, thanks to decades of work by researchers like William Astbury, Rosalind ...

DNA Tree of Plant Life Resolves Darwin's 'Abominable Mystery' Global team led by the Kew Royal Botanic Gardens analyzed over 9,500 flowering plants to figure out how so many evolved, so fast April ...
