The author provides a general overview of the molecular data used to reconstruct the avian tree of life, summarizes some highlights of the ensuing controversies, and reveals those taxonomic ...

Imagine tracing your family tree not just to distant ancestors, but to creatures that once swam in primordial seas and hopped along muddy riverbanks. The connection is more than poetic—it’s written in ...

A phylogenetic tree shows the points at which lineages have diverged and how new species have evolved from a common ancestor. Phylogenetic trees can be determined according to the data derived from a ...

The tool, called PsiPartition, improves both the computational efficiency of the data analysis and the accuracy of the phylogenetic trees that visualize these relationships.

The phylogenetic trees of ABCE protein sequences and the corresponding coding sequences demonstrated that Brassicaceae and Poaceae families have independently undergone lineage-specific split of the ...

The most detailed tree of life for flowering plants yet offers unrivaled insight into their evolutionary history.

A new, time-calibrated phylogenetic tree for angiosperms based on 353 nuclear genes. Baker et al., Nature 2024 ...

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 phylogenetic tree is a diagram that illustrates the relationships between species or organisms across time. Building phylogenetic trees is a crucial task in bioinformatics. Various approaches to ...
