A mystery that started with the discovery of a pinkie finger bone in Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains of southern Siberia may finally have been cracked.

T-REX was created in response to requests to be able to easily link phylogenetic and phenotypic information together and yield insights from this. This package consists of a GUI-enabled phylogenetic ...

HANOVER, N.H. — Scientists have discovered something extraordinary about human ancestors: they were munching on tough, fibrous grasses for hundreds of thousands of years before their teeth evolved to ...

ABSTRACT: The absence of the atp8 gene in the mitochondrial genomes of Platyhelminthes and certain other mollusks has garnered significant attention in recent years. Growing evidence suggests that ...

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 ...

This paper describes the study of the evolution of the N-terminal domain of the MSH6 mismatch repair protein in regard to the presence or absence of histone reader domains. While the presence of the ...

Abstract: Phylogenetic placement is the computational task that places a query taxon into a reference phylogeny by analyzing biomolecular sequences or other evolutionary characters. A chief advantage ...

The story of primates is a tale of incredible variety and ancient roots, told through the lens of science, DNA, and time itself. These creatures, ranging from massive gorillas to tiny mouse lemurs, ...

Birds are charismatic—well loved, and highly studied. Many new phylogenies elucidating avian evolutionary relationships are published every year. We have united phylogenetic estimates from hundreds of ...

A new computational tool improves the analysis of genetic data, making it easier and faster to study the evolutionary relationships between species. A new computational tool improves the analysis of ...
