One of the most pervasive challenges in molecular phylogenetics is the incongruence between phylogenies obtained using different data sets, such as individual genes. To systematically investigate ...

In the present study, researchers developed a novel bioinformatics approach named ClusTrace, for fast and scalable analysis of sequence clusters or clades in large viral phylogenies. ClusTrace can ...

These metrics are usually derived from the branches of molecular phylogenies. But inferring phylogenetic timescale from molecular data relies on many assumptions about the evolutionary process, most ...

Focus: Developing and improving methods to compare phylogenies Funding: European Commission Marie Skłodowska-Curie Grant We are developing new methods to compare phylogenies, improving existing ...

The scientists now reconstructed the phylogenies of different beewolf species and their symbionts. An analysis of the beewolf phylogeny revealed that the symbiosis with Streptomyces first originated ...
