Indonesia's National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) has announced the discovery of two new species of fanged frogs (family Dicroglossidae) in the ...

One study is of enamel proteins from extinct mammal fossils from the Turkana Basin in Kenya, and the other study is of enamel proteins from extinct mammals in the Haughton impact crater site located ...

Proteins degrade over time, making their history hard to study. But new research has uncovered ancient proteins in the enamel ...

This enabled the researchers to compare ancient bacterial genomes with modern strains, creating a comprehensive phylogenetic ...

Phylogenetic trees summarize evolutionary relationships between organisms, and tools to analyze collections of phylogenetic trees enable contrasts between different genes’ ancestry. The BHV metric ...

It has genes for ribosomes, tRNAs, and mRNAs. These components are the scaffolding of life: the tools by which cells read ...

Our human evolution workshops were conducted with well-resourced and historically disadvantaged schools attending. The grade ...

Alignment and sequencing errors are a major concern in molecular evolution, and this valuable study represents a welcome improvement for genome-wide scans of positive selection. This new method seems ...

Birds are the most diverse land vertebrate on the planet, and now scientists have constructed a complete evolutionary tree of the 11,000 or so known species. This data came from hundreds of studies ...

Birds are the most diverse land vertebrate on the planet, and now scientists have constructed a complete evolutionary tree of the 11,000 or so known species. This data came from hundreds of ...

Evolutionary relationships, or phylogeny, involves studying evolutionary paths or lineages of organisms and is often represented by a phylogenetic tree. A phylogenetic tree shows the points at which ...

The result of this analysis is a phylogenetic tree, which illustrates the branching patterns of evolution, showing common ancestors and the paths of divergence that led to the diversity of life we ...
