In biology, phylogenetic trees represent the evolutionary history and diversification of species -- the "family tree" of Life. Phylogenetic trees not only describe the evolution of a group of ...

Phylogenetic tree reconstruction: basic concepts A phylogeny is a tree containing nodes that are connected by branches.

Researchers have presented a new analysis of the patterns generated by phylogenetic trees, suggesting that they reflect previously hypothesized connections between evolution and ecology.

Tree performance is generally considered as the consequence of the interplay between ecological and evolutionary processes. However, the differential effect among species and the portion of those ...

The origins of life on Earth have long fascinated scientists, particularly the nature of the last universal common ancestor ...

Graphical example of a depth-first tree search for automated phylogenetic tree partition. The method considers nodes/sub-trees with a reliability ≥ 90% and ≥ 2 distinct patients, recognizing a ...

10 million sequences of COVID-19’s genomic code have now been organized into a phylogenetic tree in the UC Santa Cruz SARS-CoV-2 Browser, which is the largest tree of genomic sequences of a single ...

A new phylogenetic tree of insects explains how and when the most diverse group of animals on Earth originated and evolved.

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.” ...

A new interactive website shows a phylogenetic tree of everything, as zoomable as Google Earth.
