An archive of works by the scientist Charles Darwin has been recognised by the United Nations for its importance to global ...

A new comparison and analysis of the genomes of species in the genus Malus, which includes the domesticated apple and its wild relatives, revealed the evolutionary relationships among the species and ...

HE spent his formative years studying at the University of Edinburgh before publishing his ground-breaking work which changed the accepted wisdom about how species evolved. Now, the full personal ...

Have you ever looked into the mirror and wondered just how deeply your roots stretch back in the tree of life? It might ...

The difference between PC1 between ZBM104 and ZBM124 is the smallest, and the conclusion of PCA is consistent with that of CA compared with the cluster tree diagram in Figure 4a, which shows that the ...

We introduce a novel methodology, namely binary tree population structure-based differential evolution (BTDE), to mitigate these issues. BTDE introduces a binary tree population structure comprising ...

Constructing an evolutionary tree can seem as unappetizing as filing taxes to those not fluent in computer-speak. But, alas, learning how one organism relates to another is often a necessary first ...

Samples with cycle threshold (CT) values below 30 were selected for influenza virus capture and whole-genome sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis was conducted using bioinformatics software to construct ...

But there is a downside, because the unique preservation of "Sue" makes it difficult to compare her to other fossils of the era and so it remains a mystery how she fits into the evolutionary tree ...

A deep-rooted population structure emerged, suggesting modern humans, Homo sapiens, are the result of a population that split in two about 1.5 million years ago, and then, only 300,000 years ago, ...
