The researchers drew on high-quality genome sequences from 32 living species representing 23 of the 26 known orders of mammals. They included humans and chimps, wombats and rabbits, manatees, domestic ...

These sequences represented 23 of the 26 known orders of mammals. In Linnaean taxonomy, the way to classify living things developed by Swedish botanist Carlous Linnaeus, all living things are ...

“We now understand the major steps of chromosomal evolution that led to the genome organization of more than half the existing orders of mammals. These studies will allow us to determine the role of ...

Marine mammals from different mammalian orders share several phenotypic traits adapted to the aquatic environment and therefore represent a classic example of convergent evolution. To investigate ...
